I OPPOSE the regulatory action described in NOIRA "Additional Daily Supervision Rate Structure (22 VAC 40 - 221 )." It's not fair to us as Therapeutic Foster Parents who work very hard with these children daily to meet all there needs. If anything there should be an Increase for Regular Foster Care Parents but not a Decrease in Therapeutic Foster Parents. Being a Therapeutic Foster Parent is a 24 hour a day job you are going to a couple doctor appointments every other day. In addition to any other appointment they may have during the week. How can we as foster parents give the children things like the other children have if you want to cut the pay for us as well as the CHILDREN. IT'S NOT FAIR!!! THINK BEFORE YOU GO FORWARD ABOUT THE IMPACT ON THE CHILDREN AND FOSTER PARENTS. Remember we want our children to have GREAT SELF ESTEEM ABOUT THEMSELVES.
