FWL Episode 18 - Let's Do This Again

In this episode I talk about how we went about getting re-licensed to be foster parents after our break from doing it for a while and we had a middle of the night placement of two kids! Brother and sister. Sad stuff. We're back on this foster parenting journey again.

Approved to be Foster Parents Again!

We've filled out the paperwork, faxed and emailed more paperwork, had our fingerprints taken again for the background check and we are now once again approved to be foster parents. Your license lasts three years in Washington state where we are I believe and we let ours expire because we had a lot going on with home schooling and jobs and all sorts of new things but now we're going to be foster parents again. 

Unless we get a placement our first time fostering again will be respite care overnight for a friend who's a foster parent. I'm guessing there will be a new episode, hopefully more than one, this February of 2014. Thanks everyone!

We Took A Break, Back Soon, & A Gift

For many reasons we let our foster care licence expire. We needed to focus on our kids. We pulled our oldest two out of school and started homeschooling, we decided my wife should stop working full time and come back home, etc. What does any of this mean to you? It means that no this podcast is not dead yet even though it seems that it has podfaded. There will be new episodes in 2014. We will be doing foster care again. New adventures will be had! I almost recorded another farewell episode to close this bad boy out for good but I'm glad I didn't. That said, yeah... I'm sorry it's been so long since there has been an update let alone a new podcast episode around here. Come next year there will be new episodes. Thanks everyone and I hope you have a terrific holiday season. Since I have nothing for you hear but a promise of things to come, I give you a heart warming Christmas tale that I wrote and recorded back in 2010. It's called "All I Want for Christmas is a V.R. Supercube." Enjoy.

 A Gift to you dear listener:
