Totally get what you were saying now.
For me, sibling groups are difficult - because the problems seem exaggerated because it deals with multiple children. Also, terminations are scary with sibling groups because if either party terminates care, that is a large sum of money to lose. I once had a DCF with 3 kids in care, and altered their contract to include a month's notice (instead of 2 weeks), because it would have been such a financial hit if they had decided to leave.
I think the majority of my examples came from a while back, when we first opened. You will surely get your share of crazies
. They somehow have a way of sniffing out the new DCP ! Eventually you will hit your stride, with policies and a sixth sense for understanding who will be a good fit for you... it just takes some settling in time.
Still, even with my current DCP, somethings never cease to amaze me. But it does seem a lot better now. But I'm sure the next mind blowing comment is just around the corner... and you all will be here to hear about it
