The Big To-Do List

There are a number of things I need to do to get my life ready for bringing kids into it.  Since the next foster training classes are in the fall, I have a nice period of time to get things in order and strengthen my safety net:

Official DCYF steps:

Fingerprint Affidavit (appt made for 6/12)

My To Do:

- Find therapist
- Get Primary Care doctor
    - Release Form
    - Records Sent
    - Appointment
    - Faxed record from ST
    - Bloodwork
    - Get certification form signed.
-Release forms

- Tell landlords plan to move
- Find 2BR or 3BR place
    - find movers (have referral)
    - negotiate moving dates
