WHAT WE WISH WE HAD KNOWN ABOUT FOSTER CARE | 7 Things We Learned While Foster Parents
We want to share with you 7 things we learned while fostering that we wish we had known before beginning our Foster Care journey.
We were incredibly unprepared when we received our first foster care placement. And even later during our foster care journey we were always learning new tips and tricks. We want to share these with you as well as a few foster care stories that we hope will be helpful to you during your time as a foster parent.
Here are the 7 things we learned:
1. Keep a stash of clothes, etc. 00:38
2. Little to no information will be available 02:19
3. Family visits can be traumatic 03:03
4. Casemanagers really do care 04:30
5. Steep time committment 05:36
6. Medicaid pays for (nearly) everything 07:25
7. Visitors and anxiety 08:44
UPDATE: We've gotten a lot of questions about the buzzers we used. Here's the link: https://amzn.to/2VimXSu
*These have 2 levels, the loud is really loud. :)

We are the Black Family! We went from zero to five kids overnight through the miracle of adoption and foster care. We are learning to be a family together and want to inspire and encourage others to get involved in their state's foster program. We take lots of adventures together but...let's face it...parenting 5 kids is an adventure all on it's own!!
