We are almost finished with the foster process here in Florida. Now we are down to the annoying paper work that takes for EVER and a few other things that have to be done. I'm starting to become VERY overwhelmed. Please tell me Ill be okay...please....

It will be okay eventually. It always seems to be alot of "hurry up and wait". You hurry to get through training and paper work and then you have to wait on the CW to review and file everything. You hurry to get your house in order an then have to wait for the CW to do the home visits and then when you are finally licensed,you either get a placement immediately ( with very little prep time) or you wait for a call.
Hang in there!

I know exactly how you feel. We just reopened our home and the paperwork was bad and we were already licensed! Anything in particular that is getting you down?

Just push through it, one document at a time. When we first got the instructions for our dossier, we thought we'd never get it all pulled together, but sure enough we did, by working on it nice and steadily.
