This is a new season in your life and you will find that some people will not be in or should not be in this season....and it it perfectly OK. <br /><br />I love what you wrote about letting go/God and how so often parents try to control and mold a child - which I think is huge error.<br /><br />Anyway. I am so excited for you!!!Crystal Gunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715343057755134487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5625933059656458366.post-61678207650559726932015-07-07T21:21:12.557-04:002015-07-07T21:21:12.557-04:00No, Michigan does not require one to foster first ...No, Michigan does not require one to foster first but some agencies strongly recommend to the point of not following thru with an applicant who is interested in adotion only, as Spaulding for Children did with me. I am praying the agency I am with now will follow through based on my goals.

I've been to the county meetings about becoming a foster parent/adopting and I've been to private adoption/international adoption gatherings. You are right, they are very different experiences. In fact, the county/state meeting made me abandon the thought of fostering/adopting for years. The private adoption meetings actually made me want to consider fostering/adopting through the state again. BjaeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
