We attended our 2nd Behavior Management class last night and learned so much about how the process works for the children and for prospective foster parents. Our instructor, Shawn, was helpful in pointing out signs we need to be on the lookout for. We turned in our paperwork for our initial background checks which must be completed before our FBI fingerprint checks. We also mailed out paperwork for our family members to complete for their background checks.
Jack has started reading The Connected Child and I will start reading it tomorrow. We will pick up our additional books, Beyond Consequences, Logic and Control and The Whole Life Adoption Book.
We still have about 2 inches worth of paperwork to complete this weekend and we have a lengthy honey-do list of chores to complete. Thankfully we have Monday off! I’ll post our weekend accomplishments on Monday evening.
Wow! This is a lot of work and reading ... seems everyone should have required reading before having kids, not just those adopting. You guys already are such wonderful parents to Jack's boys and your niece and nephew and extended nieces and nephews (2nd cousins) that I am so impressed you are doing more education wise. It really shows how committed you are.
