Interested in Becoming a Foster Parent? Here’s Everything You Need to Know.
If you've thought about becoming a foster parent, you've probably had a lot of questions. What is foster care? Who are the children who need foster homes? How long will they stay? What kind of support will I have?
Those questions are a normal part of deciding whether fostering is right for you and your family.

I spent years knocking on doors, talking to strangers at community events, and making phone calls I wasn't sure someone would return. My job was to recruit foster parents, finding those willing to open their homes to children who needed a safe place to land. What I didn't expect was how much those families would teach me about what it means to live in a community.
