Traditional Foster Parents are families who provide a nurturing home and family life to children in foster care. Placement is usually temporary but can last as long as 1 year or more. As a Traditional Foster Parent, you will work with Case Managers and in some cases, biological families to prepare children to be reunified with their family. When reunification is not possible, as a Traditional Foster Parent, you will be part of a team to help find a "Forever Family" and prepare the child for adoption.
Who are Traditional Foster Parents
Traditional Foster Parents are just like you. If you have room for a child in your home and love and caring to give, you can help "change a lifetime" for a foster child.
About Children in Traditional Foster Care
Children in Traditional Foster Care are all ages. There is a tremendous need for families to care for siblings so that they can remain together in foster care. Children come into foster care due to abuse and/or neglect that may have occurred in their home and need patient and caring adults to provide stability and a safe home to help foster children recover from the trauma of being removed from their family.
Who are Treatment Foster Parents
Treatment Foster Parents are special people., They possess the gift of love and shape the lives of our most precious resource, the children., They are part of a child's special journey of healing from traumatic effects of abuse, neglect, and abandonment, and when the time is right, they help the child find permanency with a family.
Treatment Foster Parents are a distinct group of parents, everyday heroes who:
- Display compassion, concern and love to help mold a child’s future
- Gain a sense of satisfaction from helping children and families thrive and grow
- Give back to their community
- Collaborate with a team to help children find permanency
