It wasn't that bad...

I survived my first round of foster-to-adopt classes - it wasn't as nearly scary as I thought it would be. There were no actual tears, although there was some welling-up. The presenters kept saying "this portion of the course is really heavy, we don't mean it to be a downer, but we do want to present the range of situations..." but really, they had nothing new to say. I've heard it all almost all before (poop in heating ducts aside). Hopefully, by sticking with younger children (those not able to open the heating vents, I'll be ok.

The only part I had a "oh crap" reaction to was the "watch your pets" portion. As in, "your pet may be tortured to death" watch your pets. The thought that I may put my current baby in jepardy is more than a little scary.
