James City County Resource Parent
I have an adopted daughter, in order to become a foster parent I needed to go through months of training. I was tested in my ability to cope with any situation a potential child would face. My demeanor, lifestyle, and temperament make me especially skilled in helping children who have faced abuse. I know that sitting near someone can be just as much of a cuddle as a hug. I've spent hours just sitting, ready to listen, ready to hug, ready to love. While this certifications has lapsed because I am not activity looking for a foster child I am certain that I could re-qualify to be a foster parent at any time.
