Contemplating changing our licensing to address the foster care issue here in Az, as the need for placements of the "typical" kind is huge. We have some decisions to make with regards to how we move forward, but at this time even this new agency isn't really working out well.
Our support coordinator is leaving, we don't have direct deposit, they don't do adoptions, they don't do CPS immediate placements... etc etc etc. It's quiet in the world of CDH and they have even stopped licensing at this agency.
What to do? I think I shall give another agency a call and see what they say. They have a new East Valley location and are always sending me emails. Even our CPS workers are wishing we took typical kids.
We have to see how it will go with Mr. D because our license may effect him and he is the priority at this time over anything since Miss E's adoption will be final in 3 days.
But it's another new step, another new direction we would go in.We shall see when the fates lead us.
I think that's a great idea! There is definitely a need.. I honestly never even considered that you guys couldn't take "typical" kids right now.. didn't realize it's a separate type of licensing. Good luck with whatever path!
