An anti-vaxxer actually asked me for medical approval to be a foster parent.

I signed a professional-sounding note of disapproval because the state probably wouldn't accept: "Not just 'no', but 'FUCK NO!'"

The nerve of some people...

Every time I hear someone is anti-vaxxer i get upset. My father had a case of the measles as a child. It was before there was a vaccine. He lost most of his hearing because of it. Why would parents willingly expose their children to that possible fate.

Trying to get you to approve them medically (via a note to the state) on the low down. Should report them to the state that they tried to gin up a fake note...not just to satisfy one's desire for revenge, but to protect the prospective adoptee(s) of the want to be foster parent.

I filled it out correctly and completely, and included the multiple occasions on which they had refused standard vaccines. The ball is in their court. They can either present for vaccination, or view foster parenthood from the outside.

vaccines (for kids, in order to go to school, seems to vary from state to state), but I think it's a no brainer to get the vaccines being so much evidence of their good in society.

We have pretty strict rules about vaccinations and kids attending school.

My current concern is ensuring that foster children are not at risk of infection from their foster parents.
