Several weeks ago, we attended an orientation class with the DCFS. It was sort of an intro to the foster care and adoption process. We went on to enroll in the IMPACT classes. If you want to adopt or foster from DCFS in our state, one of the many credentials you need to have is a certificate stating that you attended an completed the impact classes. Monday before Thanksgiving, was our last class!
What does this mean? Can we adopt or foster? How does this impact our family building?
Short answer: No, we can't currently foster or adopt through DCFS. We still need to have a huge laundry list of items completed. Good news is that once all is said and done we will be able to adopt or foster from DCFS in the future, once the rest of our paper work is completed.
We aren't sure what this means for our family building efforts. We are waiting to talk with our social worker and plan to evaluate it on a case by case basis. This like most things we do, will probably happen in a spontaneous windstorm of glorious chaos.
