Open for Questions
So I've decided to open to questions...is there anything anyone wants to ask me about my experiences as a parent (foster or otherwise) or about parenting gay kids? I don't always have topic to write about...so...anything you want to know?
Ha - where do I start??? We're just dipping our toes in to fostering - just finished PRIDE training and should have our homestudy completed soon.
My greatest concerns as a newbie are proper record keeping (as it was drilled in to us over and over how important that is) - and what to ask when someone calls and has a placement possibility. I'm thinking maybe we can avoid a mismatched placement if we ask the right questions when we have the opportunity. Maybe that's idealistic.
Comments will be open for a little while, then I will be shutting them off. The blog will stay, but I do not want either to moderate comments or leave the blog available to spammers.

Any tips/tricks/insight??
