If the foster parents feel the child is one that they would like to work with, a time will be scheduled for everyone to meet. Several visits will be made to determine if the placement would be beneficial to everyone involved. Finally, if everyone agrees, placement is made. A trial period is used to assess the service needs of the child in the foster home. Team members meet together every quarter to review the child's progress, to update the treatment and support plans, and to facilitate communication among the team members.
Foster parents are an integral and valuable part of the team.
Foster parents are evaluated for recertification on a annual basis. Constructive in format, this process is used to strengthen skills. The journey comes with joy, challenges, and many blessings. When you become a TLC parent, you are not alone. The professionals at TLC provide parents with a tremendous amount of support, every step of the way.
