Hey everyone, its been a long time since I have posted and I took a long break from fostering. I was not even going to renew my license until "fate" stepped in. I had been selected as a pre-adoptive home for a 9 year old and then that fell through. Two days later I was selected as a pre-adoptive hope for a 15 year old girl. We had our initial meet and things went well, next up is weekend overnights until Christmas and if everything works out then she moves in during that time. Needless to say, I'm excited/nervous and begging for everyone's wisdom when it comes to fostering to adopt teens!
My son moved in at fifteen and we finalized the adoption when he was sixteen. He's twenty-one now ... so ask away!

Curfews? Bedtime? Cellphones? I will provide her with a cellphone once/if she does move in but I will be tracking whom she texts/calls etc on that cellphone. Same with any internet usage.
How did you handle the above?
