What would you do..?

The family loved my program and we're a great fit. They are dropping off signed paper work later today. My current dcf will be getting notice 3 weeks (I have 2 weeks in my contract, so I'm giving them an extra week to find alternate care). They will be getting notice 3 weeks prior to new family starting. thanks everyone.

All niceness and such aside both parties signed a contract and the contract should have in it the amount of time each party needs to give in order to end the contract and end care.

As long as you give that much time you are fine. You did not sign a contract saying you would do care forever, would do care until they ended care...you just said you would provide 2 weeks notice when you need to end care.

After that, each provider and each family will all have their own personal opinion on whether or not it is fair to end care with one family to start with another family in your best interest. But really, as with anything in life everyone will have a different opinion and at the end of the day both parties just need to go by the contract terms.
