Source document used: Foster Care Applicant Onboarding Email

Dear Licensing Team,

I am writing to submit my initial application for traditional foster care placement in Illinois. My name is Sarah Jane Miller, and I am currently living at 452 Maple Avenue, Springfield, Sangamon County, IL 62704. My home phone is 217-555-0199 and you can reach me on my cell at 217-555-9988. 

Regarding my personal details for the background screening: I was born on October 14, 1985, in Chicago, Illinois. I am a US citizen, 5'6" tall, and have brown eyes. My race is White and I identify as female. My Social Security Number is 999-88-7777. I do intend to transport foster children, and my Illinois Driver’s License number is D123-4567-8901. I have not lived outside of Illinois in the past five years. 

I was previously known as Sarah Jane Smith before my marriage in 2022. To be completely transparent, I have never been indicated in any child abuse or neglect investigation, and I have never been convicted of a criminal offense, other than a minor traffic violation. I am very excited about this journey and look forward to the home study process. Please let me know if you need any additional documentation from my end before the next step of the certification process begins. Best, Sarah Miller.
