    I agree Michelle.....I hate giving out my handbook - I put a lot of work in it and my communication sheet and every single time people want to take it. Why even take it if they already are thinking that they may not go with you? I have had to wrestle my bi-monthly newsletter out if the clutches of prospective parents - sorry no way that is leaving to a non signed family since it also has pictures of the other kids at play.

    Skysue...often times these people seem interested during the interview that is why it comes as a surprise that they don't contact me back. I am already thinking of ways to let them down easy because I might have red flags but then they don't contact me back.

    I sometimes wonder if my handbook (at 12 pages long) scares people off with all the guidelines, procedures. But the I tell myself that if they read that and think they can't follow the simple rules then I don't want them. I am running a business and there have to be guidelines on every situation so there is no doubt when something/if something arises. people have more paperwork buying a car or an appliance and this is a living child we are talking about .

    Anyways....I guess the whole rejection thing is like you have a boyfriend you want to break up with but they do it first and you get this "What? You're dumping MEEEE? " feeling.
