So we are still in training with our Impact classes. Now let me tell you that these classes are pretty boring for the most part. Every week we have to read vocabulary words. So its like you are in elementary school. Now on the positive side we did get some good info this week. There's an organization in our county that helps foster parents with networking and gives them help in training information. They let us know that if you are a foster parent you must complete 10 hours of training a year. Very helpful. Because we are in the IMPACT training that will cover us for the first year.
We also wanted to get what is known as a Natural Helper form so that my wifes mother could keep the foster child. What this means is that her home will be visited by an case worker. Whereas the Respite workers have to take the IMPACT classes, the natural helpers just need their home inspected and to get fingerprinted.
Heres the link for our county org. http://www.fosteroradopt.org
Best of luck
