Foster parents must be at least 21 years of age, have income to financially support themselves and be in good physical and mental health. They must be willing to support foster children's contact with their natural parents and cooperate with the agency's efforts to reunite them with their families or prepare them for permanent homes through adoption.
Foster parents can adopt their foster children .
Children are placed in foster homes by matching their needs with the foster parent's or families' situations or requirements. You will never be asked to accept a foster child you are not prepared to help. You select the level of needs and age group of the child for whom you feel comfortable caring. Children of all ages, origins, ethnicity and backgrounds are waiting to be fostered. Some of the children are toddlers.
