Foster parents may be asked to care for children for a few days, months or even years. Foster parents sometimes even adopt the children in their care. Foster parents provide more than a bed and food on the table. They offer concerned care, guidance, discipline and commitment. Prospective foster families receive comprehensive training and ongoing support from caseworkers, and other foster parents, which makes sharing a home with children a very rewarding experience.
Foster parents are as unique as the children in their care.
They come from all walks of life and locations. They may be married or single. Some have children of their own, have grown children who no longer live at home or have no children. Fostering children is especially rewarding to those who are genuinely fond of children, are committed to helping them through a difficult time, are patient, understanding and can provide a safe, pleasant home environment. If you find these traits describing you, we would like you to consider joining the foster care team.
