Lack of Clarity and Financial Strain for Agency Parents:
 

The absence of clear guidelines for agency parents creates further uncertainty and stress. These parents must attend classes monthly and undergo annual training, often incurring additional costs. The burden of these financial obligations, including the $300 certification fee, further strains the already limited financial resources of the caregiver. The lack of transparency and consistency in the expectations placed on agency parents contributes to their frustration and apprehension regarding the proposed changes. To address these concerns, it is essential to establish clear rules and provide financial support for agency parents, alleviating the financial strain associated with certifications and training.
