As of now, I still haven't had a foster home placement. It has been six months. I am perfectly OK with this! There were a couple that I considered, but definitely not what I was interested or became licensed.
On Saturday, as a favor to one of my foster homes, I offered to do "respite" for two boys, 10 and 12. I have met the boys twice before. They came over at 6:00a.m. and left at 4:30p.m. Everyone got along well and the visit went fine. Of course, I can't say that I have really experienced foster parenting at this point. Just a long day of hanging out and free babysitting.
But nothing like sticking your toes in the brisk great lake and feeling how cold it is. Maybe some day I will warm up to the idea and dive right in...maybe.
