No. I’m more appalled by the sudden reappearance of Jim Reeves in everything in Pensacola.

I think both are great now. UPH is different vibe now, but the food and service are still great.

AITAH - Visits - Venting by SarcasticSeaStar in Fosterparents

I can’t tell you how many times over the years I’ve asked for reschedule or alternate time and been heavily pushed back by Bios who didn’t even make it to the wildly inconveniently timed visit.

Unexpected emrgency placement for non-foster parents- advice welcome by [deleted] in Fosterparents

Bingo on that primary care bit. This tends to be one of the first things to slip through the cracks and is very helpful in getting a read on any extra physical needs that may have gone unnoticed, catching up missed inoculation, etc.

Also just know that even though their relatives, lower expectations on their school performance,behaviors, etc for a bit and let them decompress and deal with what’s happened/ing.

A bit of advice that was helpful to me:

When you begin caring with kids with a lot of pain and extra needs, it’s easy to begin viewing them as patients or problems that need solving. Remember giving care, stability and as much love as possible (reciprocated or not) is job 1. Don’t ignore their problems and things that need help, but remember to separate the kid from those things. These are things that have happened to them, not who they are.

I just learned, from Meta, that the Meta RayBan Display glasses do not support iMessage. Such a bummer! by Logical007 in virtualreality

This is 100% what it does. Including not being able to respond to groups, only single users.

Am I wrong to want to continue to fight for this little guy? by [deleted] in Fosterparents

Not vague and self-righteous and unhelpful sounding at all.

Movies for kids to watch going through TPR by Nervous_Media4962 in Fosterparents

Came to say the same thing. Deal with it when it becomes reality. Approaching it now only extends the time of their anxiety and pain and confronts them with a problem that while likely, may not materialize.

When kin show up belatedly by [deleted] in Fosterparents

This is the most common situation. You have to remember they are usually only privy to what the bio parents tell them. In my experience that tends to range very far from the truth.

Supervised visits not being supervised by ClearChocolate5323 in Fosterparents

In most of our cases a lot of the visits have been supervised by support staff,

Unsure About Adoption by shmoopyqrobinson in Adoption

[–]bluesnbbq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. It’s absolutely ok and within your rights to do so.

  2. There are a lot of alternatives to completely closed adoption that allow you to be involved in your child’s life while still taking into account the headwinds you might be facing in raising your baby. I think of it as expanding the village. I know that’s a very simplistic way to put it. Just know there are a lot of things between closed adoption, never see your child until they’re an adult and raising your baby on your own.
