How about gay and lesbian adoptions? or single parent adoptions? These are two of the obvious adoption blogs that seem to be missing here...

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I was talking about the Foster-Adoption blog specifically.

Blog topics are reviewed and expanded regularly. You may see your topics in the future.

One thing that I'd love to see parents have more information about is what to do when a foster placement just isn't working, no matter what you've tried.

Maybe a blog on how to get siblings together in a situation where you have one of a sibling group and are able and wanting to bring into your home the siblings of the child. Is that good? Is it always good? What if a worker says no? Is it ok to go over heads to make this work? Ideas on that topic...

How to utilize ongoing training opportunities. Required hours, hours provided by agency, hours available online, how to find out if you can use outside trainings to count for your hours (and, if so, how to find those trainings).

Respite - how-tos, what if it doesn't work out, is the agency responsible, I don't really know - just spouting off......

I actually wasn't thinking of any of these ideas, but just spouted off some ideas off the top if my head. You may have already addressed these. They're topics that stay in the forefront of my mind most of the time when dealing with foster parents/issues.

Hi, I already asked other blogger to talk about this and she did great but more insights would be great once I am still not sure how to deal with it:

How to deal with family members who disagree of your plan of fostering, how to deal with bad remarks... Does this eventually gets better? will they accept our future kids?

And other idea, and this I never read is what should we NEVER forget to ask to our worker before accept a placement? is there anything in special?

thank you :)
