Dealing with CHOY is a nightmare. Even getting a response from anyone there by phone may take a week or two and their mailing is equally as slow. I was attempting to step down from a higher level of foster care (CRR) which I have been for several years. This was to keep a child in my home who will be dropped from CRR care do to cutting of funds. I was told that all that would be needed was a release of my records from my previous agency and a walk through. After about a month I received a very thick package in the mail from CHOY requesting every record ever required to get a foster care license, as if I had never been approved before. These records and clearances have all been renewed within recent months and I am told it doesn't matter to CHOY. What makes no sense is that as I said I would be stepping DOWN from a higher level of care, how could I possibly not be qualified or need additional documentation? If this is how the system of foster care is suppose to work nobody should ever wonder why foster parents are in short supply. I may quit all together.
