I took some time to include a handful of questions to the Foster Mother with the anticipation that we can discuss them when we meet.  Many families have said the short time you have with your Foster Mother is typically spent playing with your child and often little time is spent on questions and transition information.  Therefore, I thought it would be nice to get her these ahead of time so she can start thinking or even jot some notes down.
