Recap on how the site will work.

We are finishing the site this week and we will be online soon. For those of you who have registered, I'll be sending your login soon. I have been emailing the application to any mom who requests it and I hope everyone will be returning the applications soon. The free registration ends when we go live. As soon as you are registered,I will put you in the database. When we are online you will get a login number to have access to the secure area. This is the Mommy Time page. The site will list Moms per state and zip code. You will just have your name listed as "Mary Mom" or "Susan Mom" depending on your name. There will be small icons of a boy or girl with ages on them that show what children you have. There are also icons that describe your home, ie smoking, CPR, TV, Toys, etc. Remember those questions I asked you when you registered. This will tell another Mom, is there smoking in your home? Do you let the kids watch TV? Do you have pets? Do you know CPR? Do you have a child with special needs? And what kind? I'm grateful for all of the moms who are saying that they would love to take a special needs child even though they have no experience. They just want to be educated. The icons will help the other Moms decide if they want to contact you. Moms will also have an availability button to turn on or off. Available means that you may be contacted, not that you are available this minute. It just means that you are open to communication with another Mom. Availability off means don't bother me. Maybe you just had surgery and need a few weeks without an exchange. Maybe you are on vacation. If a Mom wants to contact you,they will email you, you give them a tele# or email back and talk. You are getting to know each other. Once you both feel compatible, set up a time for you to have your children cared for or visa versa. There is no identifying info about you until a Mom emails you to discuss an exchange. You give her the info. Please email me with any other questions. Let's all find some mommy time.
