poachedegg Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 (edited) At long last after a long and slow assessment (which we actually didn't find intense or intrusive as we had been prewarned), on Thursday we are going to Panel, where we will hopefully get approved as Foster Carers to a child between 0 - 5. After Thursday it could be immediate or not before we get a placement! I'm not nervous about the panel, however I am now getting a little nervous about having a child placed with us, but I'm sure we'll cope *fingers crossed* Edited November 25, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 oh good luck and well done for doing this, it is something I have discussed for a while with hubby to be honest and as I already work with children it seems a natural step so I would appreciate any advice you have.
