New to all this any advice is welcome.

I just had 4 grandkids ages 15,14,13 and 12 placed with me 10 days ago. I am doing everything for dcfs doing official Kinship placement and then certifying as a foster parent. We are in GA. I have reached out to churches etc to assist me in getting them set up as they didnt have much of anything. They watched their father and step mother get arrested and they are the ones that called 911. Im trying to navigate everything and help them get the things they need and want. I have to get the medical info for appointments and everything else. Besides the case worker, what else should I be doing to create the village i so desperately need at this point. I work from home so i dont have really any help if that makes sense. I am doing all i can to help rhe kids feel loved and safe.

I dont want to fail them and could use some advice. Thank you in advance for reading!

Have had a hard time starting.

I have been ib a depressive adhd spiral for YEARS. I got out of an abusive marriage of 15 years and know I used my mess to keep him away. Now im trying to get better. Today I made a goal to get to my closet and I did it!

Now how do I get that dopamine rush when I still have so much to do and just walking into my office overwhelms me when going to work?
