Fostering

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.
