I got accepted for an awesome internship today! At 9am I had an interview at a foster care and adoption agency. I was a little nervous about it, just because I wanted it so badly! I was accepted on the spot. I am really excited for it to start, even though that isn't until the beginning of September.



They do so many things! Home visits, training and certification for foster parents, counseling with kids in foster care, counseling for birth parents, counseling for foster parents, adoptions, adoption counseling, events for the kids in foster care, policy advocacy/change meetings with the state, court for actual adoptions, etc. The woman told me I would basically be exposed to all of the above initially and as my internship progresses I can choose which area interests me the most and work there. :)
