Last FULL DAY Foster and Adoption Training

Saturday, January 23, 2010 

Saturday was another all day training at Covenant Kids in Arlington. This is the last day of the mandatory training that is required by both the State of Texas and Covenant Kids. Today's topics included:

  • Major physical and mental illnesses of foster kids and treatments (medicines, what they do and how to log them)
  • CPR and Choking First-Aid
  • Other first-aid
  • Multi-cultural education
All were very practical and useful.

On Tuesday or Thursday, we decided that we wanted to celebrate finishing the last mandatory class, so we set reservations for this day at The Melting Pot, which is a fondue restaurant.

Saturday, we enjoyed our fine dining meal, albeit in our t-shirts and jeans, with cheddar cheese fondue (with veggies, bread chunks, etc.), a salad, vegetable broth fondue (with steak, chicken, potatoes, shrimp, etc.) and then the always anticipated "original" chocolate and peanut butter fondue (with strawberries, bananas, marshmallows, etc.). They prepare the cheese and chocolate fondues at the table. Very decadent and very tasty!

Team Nelson has completed another milestone on the way to adoption. Still lots of inspections, paperwork, the big HOME STUDY and more that we need to do (like install safety locks on the sliding glass doors).
