No word on cutting board rates ( I'm at $17 a day), but impossible to find out anything about the childrens cases with no one assigned to them. Our state pays no differential for babies or toddlers that need diapers etc - bless you for providing. We do get a clothing allowance but I would have to beg for it, justify it...blah blah and CHOOSE not to bother. ( also, if another foster family did get the allowance then the next would not as it had been used) I so laugh when I read everyones blogs and from time to time one of us foster parents gets accused of "making money". Bless you all foster sisters- respectfully in it for as long as my own don't suffer but I now understand the burnout so many speak of.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27419577.post-90517406610677543412009-12-19T21:56:56.576-05:002009-12-19T21:56:56.576-05:00NiceNiceAnitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592595769485958017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27419577.post-53400747704009201522009-12-19T14:44:54.838-05:002009-12-19T14:44:54.838-05:00Are. you. kidding. me.

Ours is $25 and is dropping to $22.50. That is high compared to some other blogs I've read.<br /><br />I use WIC when I have those ages that qualify. That is a must for formula. <br /><br />I love how they can traipse(sp) all over town to force parents to visit their kids yet, cut our per diem so that we can provide the bare necessities.

Maybe if our politicians were making a bit less, we could afford to pay our foster parents to PROPERLY take care of the children!!!! Nothing says 'foster child' MORE than NO HAIR CUTS {had to throw that in}, horrible hand-me-downs and clothes that are too short!!! <br /><br />What state are you in?StarfishMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116973647460971984noreply@blogger.com
