Foster Parenting

Kourtnee and I (Amirah Burkett) selected the bureaucratic task of becoming a Foster Parents in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I believe the hardest part of our project was the flow chart, it was the most complicated. The paperwork we needed to fill out was pretty straightforward and easy being as though we made ours how we wanted to fill it out, and it went into some detail. We couldn't find any official foster parent documents so we piggy backed off of a lot of other applications in other states. The flow chart is very similar to the application and asks most of the same questions. All of the qualifications steps like home inspections, being at least 21 years of age, and at least 36 hours of foster caring classes. I believe some systems have become more complicated because there's always going to be a person who's trying to get around it, so i guess they made it a little more complicated for certain bureaucratic 'tasks'
