My comments were basically stating that knowing info PRIOR to enrollment isn't always beneficial....per your question in your original post.
I have never asked for references and I do not see how they would really tell you the truth. The family could great references and be a total nightmare. They could receive a poor reference and be fine. A trial period and thorough interviewing can help with not offering the spot to a family that you may feel is not right.
