This DHS worker is not a policy maker. She is just working her butt off for our kids and actually cared enough to log into this discussion. I applaud her.
DHS as a system can only provide the resources that your representatives provide them. Next time you want to use your voice to actually make change, call your rep. and let them know how you feel.

agree mostly here, but i wouldn't be hard on dhs workers. they have been cut, too. we as a state do not provide enough funding to staff them adequately. in fact they are only expected to meet a certain level of supervision, and the state knows this.

I thought the state had insurance for any damage to the home?

I have thought about volunteering as a foster parent in the past, but didn't think i could afford to do it with the old rate. I think the new rate system may enable more people to be foster parents. I can see the difficulty in the change for special needs caregivers, but overall i hope this actually helps the system by enabling more people to volunteer.
