Once approved it's retroactive, that's how it worked when I lost Steven.

Oh silly, it's ok. I wouldn't be the woman I am now without that pain. Sometimes life works out, just not as planned.

god i am dreading tomorrow! I have to take my son to the forensic phycologist for play therapy. I had an inncedent that happened. A child did something to my son. i am getting nervous and semi freaking out! I am not sure what to expext. he said he needs to talk to the victim(my son) and then he will investagate the other kids and parents, I rather shoot myself in the toe than do this tomorrow! I am scared they are gonna say, your kids tramatized or something.

I am not gonna be able to sleep tonight

ooh Sillystunt! I'm so sorry to hear something happend your baby!

Thats one of the sad/scary risks with taking in foster kids with serious problems. They can sometimes harm your natural born children. Thats why with the population i work with, they cant live in a house with any bio children under the age of 16. Its a safety measure. And each child has to have their own room. with a door alarm..
I'm so sorry for your pain right now. I wish i knew something to say to help you out..all i can do is give ya a

Sorry to hear about this silly

I specify the type of teen I WILL NOT TAKE under any circumstances and when we add a kid to the house I say a prayer. I hope this works out for you.

Yeah, thats the scary part of the job for you guys! In my job as a treatment parent i KNOW what i am getting..but with you guys you wont really know the foster child has serious problems until its too late and something happens and comes out in the open somehow. And often they hide it so well it could be YEARS of not knowing. Really you guys take on more risks than i do, becasue i know what to expect from the kids i take in. I'm so sorry you are going through this Silly.

I'm so sad that Silly is going through this

I've heard of it happening before, but its the exception rather than the rule. Besides, the kids here all know that any predation on anyone in the house, and I will loose my license for good because I will tear them limb from limb. Goes with the whole first day rules chat I have with them.

Silly, my heart and prayers goes out to you and the fam. Keep us updated
