Devereux - Arizona

I am so disappointed with my experience with Devereux. I am a single homeowner with a functional automobile, plenty of time, and lots of disposable income. I spent about $2000 in preparations to get certified only to have the process take about a year and then find out that some my paperwork was lost and the licensing worker did not approve of my lifestyle (traveling out of state and taking vacations...). If you are a well-adjusted adult who does not need the money from fostering and can devote lots of time and attention to a child in need--your time and effort might be better spent working with another organization. (I ended up hosting foreign exchange students and volunteering to help children with cancer to fill up my free time---instead of helping the abused or neglected children of Arizona. While I still feel great about how I contributed to young people, I sometimes wish that I would have asked for a different caseworker earlier on in the process.)Good luck!
