I just got an email from our social worker. She said they are changing the rules for a home study by may 1st in virginia. She said additional paperwork will be needed. I really don't understand what's more to document. We did health, references, employment, financial and more that i can't think of right now. Anyone else's state change the rules? What more could we possibly do in paperwork? Tia

    When we were still in the "foster" segment of our FTA, they were switching the state system to better track foster parents' training hours and allow for signing up for training courses and webinars on-line. There was a really big push about the state having a consistent level of training instead of it being mandated by just the local areas ... maybe it has something to do with that? The only other thing I can think of is maybe they would want updated references and background checks?
