So after much discussion and questions to Alison we have decided to enter the world of Foster Care!

I talked to somebody at Dare Family Services today and they did the preliminary screening over the phone to make sure we qualify and then will pass our information on to the next person who will either contact me for more questions or just send out the application.

It’s exciting and nerve racking all at the same time. One, it’s exciting to get the process started and have another child join our family and get to experience what *family* is about. Though on the other hand, the “surprise” of what type of situation the child comes from is a little nerve racking! We will have the opportunity to preview information about the child before we accept them into our home and Dare seems to have a great support system in place consisting of weekly visits and meetings and also monthly trainings.

It’s just an awesome feeling knowing that we can help kids understand what *family* is…. that it’s a fun safe place!

I look forward to our trainings and learning many new things.
