What is Foster Parenting?
Foster parents provide a safe, supportive and non-judgmental home while the child(ren)’s parents/guardians/families of origin work to resolve issues that have placed the child(ren) in the foster system. These children range in age from newborn to 17, single children to sibling groups. The goal of the foster system is reunification of the child(ren) with their biological family whenever possible.
