littlemisstea's review against another edition
4.0
My husband and I were licensed foster parents from 2001-2006. We adopted 2 of the children we fostered. We find ourselves in a situation currently that has necessitated us to be licensed again. (Our granddaughter came to live with us over a year ago. She is 3 1/2 now and doing well.) This book is 20 years old, so there have been many changes in laws and policies since publication, but I would still highly recommend it for anyone who would like to know more about the care of somebody else's children. The behind the scenes access the authors were granted is impressive. The reports we received upon the adoption of our boys had so much redaction the papers resembled something like a geometric Rorschach test. The authors appear to have been granted access to non-redacted files. Interesting read.
