The first step in becoming a foster parent with Nairn Family Homes is to contact us! We will then collect some basic information about your family demographics. The basic information is then passed on to the Director for your region, who will contact you to set up an initial interview.If, after this initial meeting both the prospective foster parents and the Nairn Family Homes representative agree that fostering is a good fit for them, a full home study will be completed.The home study involves a number of meetings with our representative and many administrative documents, such as personality tests of both parents, police checks and a fire inspection.When the home study is complete, the prospective foster parents are ready for orientation. Our orientation takes the form of both self-study and in-person attendance at our In-Service Training Meetings. In-service Training Meetings take place twice monthly on a weekday.​
