Our Foster Adoption Journey – Step 1: Getting The Facts + Going To An Informational Meeting
http://www.faintstarlite.com/2010/04/our-foster-adoption-journey-step-1-getting-the-facts-going-to-an-informational-meeting/ We get a lot of questions so we decided to share our Foster Adoption journey and provide basic information for families interested in learning more about adopting through foster care. Keep in mind, each state has its own rules so the info I share is specific to adopting in Wisconsin… although there is a lot of cross-over in most states.
Where are we currently at in the process? As of this video’s posting date we’re just finalizing our home study and will be eligible for placement next month.
Thanks to Johnson & Johnson’s Health Channel for sponsoring this video series! I met the director of their channel at a conference awhile back and I ended up telling him about our adoption plans. I reached out to him after deciding to make a series of videos + posts on the topic and J&J said they’d be happy to sponsor it.
