Foster Parents Be Heard
On May 7, 2009, UCAN foster parents have the opportunity to participate in CCA Lobby Day. Below is a description of what would transpire. Please let Erin Ginn know if you are interested in participating on this day.
"We always like for legislators to meet the real foster parents, so if they go down, they'll get to meet their senator and/or rep, share a bit about what it's like being a foster parent, and share why they and their kids would benefit from our foster parents earning enough monthly to support their kids. Sharing how much of their own $ they spend on their kids monthly would be great too. Thanks!!"

LETS BEGIN OUR DISCUSSION
Hello Everyone!
First of all, I would like to welcome everyone to the new Foster Parents United Blog!
We are all very excited and hope that this can be a tool that all foster parents can use in Lake, McHenry and Cook Counties for resources and to just feel connected to other foster parents.
Our first topic to get the ball rolling is going to be:
Resources: What Doctors, Dentists, etc accept the medical card in your area?
Please help as this will help us compile a list of doctors that are available for all of our children.
