[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 279847, member: 2459"] Another thought on foster regulations Star. At least here, when you are a foster parent, not only do you have to buy clothing every so often, but you also need to provide an allowance to the child out of the money the state gives you. Obviously this is age appropriate....if you are fostering a 6 month old, no allowance but put the money in a bank account. And you can attach stipulations....when we got difficult child for example, he had to do chores. If he did them, he got his allowance, if not, the money went into an account. As for the clothing thing, with us, generally we met the requirement when we did back to school shopping. We would also need to buy new things during the year which kept us "current". Normally, case workers won't demand receipts and make sure this is followed to the letter but if it's brought up that NOTHING has been purchased with the per diem money, someone SHOULD say something to the FP's. Also, just curious about something and you may have told me this but I've forgotten. Is there any kind of group home system through a mental health care provider in your area? difficult child gets his counseling (before he stopped, but he's signed back up again) and they have some group homes for young adults like difficult child. I know Dude had a carpy experience with the one but is there ANYTHING else that would be appropriate and where he would still be in the area and keep working? These people sound like .... well, like nothing I can say here and our Dude needs something better. Tell that boy to keep his chin up and he's got some chicken livers out for him! [/QUOTE]
