10 Things to Do Before Sending a Foster/Adopted Child Back-to-School

Saturday August 9, 2008

Can you believe it? It's time to think about school supplies and new shoes. It seems like the kids just got out on summer break and now in a couple of days - at least for my kids - they'll be headed back to school. We've had a busy summer. I can't believe that my baby will be in 6th grade this year. Middle School. She's too little for that, right?

I've already done the enrollment thing and gone shopping. So, I think we're set as school is starting on Wednesday. What will I do with my days? I can think of a BUNCH of things; read, blog, nap, surf the Internet. Not necessarily in that order.

So, are you reading to send them off to school?
