168. vouchers are usually for Target/Walmart
though I'm sure it varies from state.

and then there's the foster "mom" - from whom I received emergency placement of three brothers - 6, 4, 2 - she spent the voucher on her own kid and gave his hand me downs to the other boys. The two year old was wearing clothes two sizes too big. The other two had only a few things that really "FIT" and most of it very shabby. Shoes were so beat up they could hardly count as shoes. She also bought hundreds of dollars of disposable training pants so "she" wouldn't have to buy them out the monthly stipend.

:nuke:

Yes, the horror stories are sometimes true (and there's worse...) But the vast majority of foster paremts I met are NOT like that!



I had to outfit three boys from head to toe and everything in between.
