Hi thought i would vent on the stupidy of some things we have to do to have these kids.this is a list of what we have to do for 3rd party custody.we have to pay 100.00 for mandatory parenting classes,Do a criminal background check on the three of us if we do it our self it will only be 10.00 apeice,try to find the kid's real dad and if we can't find him we have to put a add in the paper where we think he might have lived or has family which could run us to 700.00 for the newspaper ads,Needless to say we are done with what we are going to do there are a few programs that we might get some help with the money but it still won't be enough to cover what we spend.Basically if they don't like it the state can take them.There mom is in Spokane for ninety days so she should be out first of July.i think the whole thing is stupid you would think that the state would be happy that we have them since there is a shortage of foster homes.enough griping by
