[QUOTE="Star*, post: 131500, member: 4964"] +++++UPDATE+++++++++ Well the meeting went well (thanks for the prayers and extra marbles) lol. The man is just a good, down to earth kinda man. His wife wasn't there. He seemed nice and just said he's a good old country man - but wise to kids. I'm thinking he may know a thing or two. He told Dude they have 2 main rules - no cursing in the house because they have little kids around - and everyone goes to church on Sunday. Well that is fine - Dude likes church and it wasn't like a forced thing - he just has his beliefs and limits and laid it out - that was good. They did agree despite it being harder for them to take Dude to School M-T and pick him up - we offered to help whenever we could and said we would take care of all the probation stuff. The office people & case worker said - No contact for a month - sigh - I knew it. But in the end - Dude seemed like he would be okay - they're going to help him with budget, getting a job and the things the other place was supposed to - and on the QT away from the caseworkers - he said "I'll call and let you know how he's doing - because a month is a long time." and I liked that He also said that we are a first for them - that he's never had a foster with parents who cared...it made him a little more at ease with Dude and his situation. So all in all - it went okay - prayers answered.
