How Does This Benefit the Parent?
- Keeping a daily journal is the number one way foster parents can prepare for case conferences and/or help their attorney make their case in court. Judges can make decisions about a child’s case plan only based on what is presented in court.
- The book is a handy reminder to keep regular notes on their foster child. In addition, it includes much valuable information in the Appendices.
- Foster parents can use the journal to record school reports, medical and counseling appointments, good and bad behavior, and to document any controversies or allegations.
Key Features
- Contains simple instructions on how to keep a journal, what and what not to put in, and ample space for daily notes.

- An inside-cover pocket to hold receipts for reimbursable expenses.
- An Appendix with critical information on discipline, life books, treating the detached child, how to prevent and survive allegations, and many other important issues on foster care and adoption.
