awesome information
Good reminders
Very informative!
Fostering is hard for bio children most definitely. Policies have to be changed to affect protocol.
about adoption
Although most of the adoptive families I provide home studies for do not have children, the information in this course will help me with families who do have biological children.

The information was very useful since I am currently experiencing the combing of my birth children with foster children.
Very informative.
Good information.
I found this course pretty discouraging as a bio mom of 4 and foster mom of 2. Lots of sad "research" thrown out there about negative effects but yet no real practical ways to help meet needs. Is the take away not to foster when you have a home where bio children are present? There must be a way to help everyone thrive.
Good to think about the impact on bio kids. However, kind of had an air of bitterness about it.

Loved hearing the information from someone who has experienced it.
Liked hearing from someone who has lived it.
This is very helpful when having biological children in the home. As parents, we need to make sure all the resources are needed for the biological children as well.
