Feedback from caregivers who took this class:
"I’m very thankful to have had the opportunity to take this class. The legalities of this entire process are mind boggling! We appreciate all the direction you’ve given us. This was a very informative class that answered several of our questions and addressed several of our concerns."
"Very informative and helpful information. Sometimes it feels like the logistics of the system are left up to foster parents to learn and navigate alone. This is very helpful. I always thought I’d need a lawyer to negotiate but this gives me more confidence."
