Dear Ms. Kleyn,
I hope this email finds you well. I am a newly certified resource parent. Joanne* did the training for me this past weekend and I am writing to express my appreciation for her. During the training, Joanne was knowledgeable, engaging and kind. She showed so much enthusiasm for the work she does. Although the hours were long and some of the slides were filled with basic information that I’m sure she has repeated many times before, Joanne kept us engaged with a positive attitude. I appreciated how she allowed us to ask questions throughout and didn’t limit us. She was generous with her time and thoughtful with her responses. I could tell she really cares about placing children in good homes.
I have heard a lot of negative things about foster care and foster care agencies, but Joanne was a testimony that there are good people that are part of this system and I am very happy that I will be working with her going forward. I just wanted to give a special kudos to her for being a source of positivity and comfort as I begin my journey as a foster mom.
Much gratitude, Resource Parent
