I am going to sound like a broken record by the time this 31 days is up, but here is one of them again. There are different requirements by state and by agencies. This isn’t just for licensing guidelines, but also the day to day stuff. Paperwork for example.
I have it really easy. I hardly have any paperwork. Honestly, barely anything. At the opposite and of that is a friend of mine that fostered in Texas. She had to fill out a report explaining in detail various outings she did with her foster children and their educational purpose each month. Huh?! She had four foster children. She took a picture of the stack of paperwork once. It was crazy.
But it was a way to ensure that foster children did get out, mentally stimulated, and educated. That is sad that they have to make reports to show people making an effort to do that stuff.
Now I honestly have no idea if it was something required by her specific agency or if the paperwork was required by the state. So you may get lucky and have zilch like me. I wanted to share this because it is something that you might have to deal with. I am trying to share as much as I can.
I don't think my friends here who are doing foster care have to do that, but they haven't told me all details.
