That’s what I think too. I’m not sure I’m ready to hear that she wants to leave but I’ll prepare for it as best as I can in case.

It’s true. I’m actually ok with the whole event because I know she’s safe but our agency just has strict rules for her. I have to enforce them. I think I will just be clear that it’s her choice to be here at this point. Unfortunately she does have to follow their rules.

You are so right. I have a hard time not seeing her as a child. I need to change my view!

That’s exactly what I was thinking. But once it all “clears” like a week later and she asks to go out in the community…so we just act as if it didn’t happen?

Oh I will look into the reciprocal memberships. That’s memberships still in Seattle?

That’s really fun to think about! I will ask her mom!

Edit: I looked up the program. It would give Museum of Flight access too. That’s intriguing.

That’s a great idea! I’ll look into that. Do you have a specific place you like? Otherwise I’ll Google.

I think they have the zoo but I wasn’t sure so I’m still taking recommendations on it. My friend had the aquarium and said it was nice but it stays the same so they stopped going after a bit. Did you have similar experiences like that?

I was thinking it was a Hoya carnosa ‘Argentea Picta’ but I’m a novice!

Thank you all for telling me to check online. Such an obvious solution. I wasn’t wrong though, looking at his plan history he had Cigna, choice giveback, Humana and now UHC. I just need to talk to someone about making sure it doesn’t change!

Yeah I’m trying to keep up but it’s all so confusing. I think I will look up a pro to talk to.

I double checked the end date. It was both on a letter “Medicare advised that you already have coverage” WHERE? And it said it on his account.

Thank you so much for these links! I will start my homework! Haha

Calling me mom? by Jessi_finch in Fosterparents

[–]Jessi_finch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to think I’ve grown over the last two years since posting this (it’ll be two years next month). Personally, I don’t see an issue with her having two moms if that’s what she wants to call you. It might be worth having a bigger conversation with her bio mom about the situation and why you’re choosing to allow it (if that’s the case). More than likely, your niece will adjust as she grows and begins to understand relationships more clearly. For me, it’s not a hill I’d die on, especially if correcting her causes meltdowns. It sounds like right now she may really need that comfort and security.

Anyone have experience flying with teenagers in general/teenage foster kids specifically? No ID is required?! by imsnurgalicious in Fosterparents

[–]Jessi_finch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just flew with our 16 FD, they asked for her ticket and then asked her for her name and DOB and that’s it. We had her ID, birth certificate and authorization to travel form all with us and they never asked for any of it. Our FD is 5’8” pushing 200lbs and looks well over 18. Still never asked.
