Eye Opener

Our first meeting was quite an eye opener. Small group meeting to learn about becoming a foster parent and ask and get questions answered.

The basics were covered. Expectations that children will have their own room and space on the same sleeping floor as your family. The social worker asked "Does anyone know why we would expect that children have their own rooms for sleeping?" An older gentleman answered "Of course to protect yourself. Look what happened to poor micheal jackson.. the poor guy had sleepovers with kids and then everyone is all over him..." Dead Silence in the room. Somehow I don't think bringing up micheal jackson in your first meeting with a social worker is a good thing.
