Rage, I agree with your goal. I really do. My "point" I guess is that the strict/complex form does not achieve that. Not only that, but it could be driving away potential "good" foster parents. yet allow "bad" foster parents through.

A) If I am a lier, I can fill out the whole form by reading in the web, which means I have no "real" experience with any of it and can still answer every single question.

B) If I am a first timer, and truthfull, I might not be able to answer almost any. That does not mean I can't learn and or provide for the animal.

I am a newbie (I am!). I had to learn it all as I go during the last year. My snakes are doing great (as far as I and my vet know). I have learned a lot from this site. If I am case (B), I would be extremely discouraged by the form I just saw.

My 3 snakes have new tanks, new lights, new heat pads, are feed properly, they are free of parasites and doing great. Yet, your form drove me away. Wouldn't I had made a good prospective foster parent?

BTW, let me be clear I never saw this particular form before. I saw several, none from people on this website, but all very very discouraging. I thought I was doing the right thing to try to adop first, instead of paying $65 at the local herp show. Yet, that is what I did at the end.

Let me go to my experience. I interview people for jobs. I read resumes. Not that they matter that much. Almost every resume "exagerates", so as we all now it just opens the door to an interview. I do well on interviews and I am very proud of all my employees.

I learn the most from a prospect employee by THE QUESTIONS THEY ASK. It shows what they care about, it shows what are their doubts, it shows they are NOT AFRAID TO ASK. This, in our case, are better qualities than 100 certificates in the resume.

Maybe this explains why I place low weight on the form...
