Bonding Assessment

Sorry that was so ambiguous. I specifically meant documentation of visits with family but I personally document everything in one, rolling Word document. Specifically, I note: *Training we've completely during time with foster child *Visits to our home by DYFS *Visits with family *Scheduled visits with family that were missed or cancelled *Anything notable about visits (if baby comes baby stressed, your contact with bios, etc.) *Court dates (and whether or not I attended, which I always do unless it's administrative) *Dr. Visits (reason for visit, height, weight, head circumphance, and any findings) *Daycare/school info. *Summary of care (I complete and submit before each court hearing. My summaries detail how the baby has progressed since the last hearing, any new medical problems, developmental milestones, etc.) *Requests (for the judge) I'm not sure if your letters with the bios are a good thing to present at the bonding assessment unless they contain statements that would substantiate their inability to parent long-term. It's such a slippery slope that I'd say don't bring those. (But I'm really impressed that you established that communication and think it's great!--for everyone involved, especially the baby!) Best wishes to you! Jennifer
