Foster Parenting: Resources for Foster Parents and Prospective Foster Parents
Foster parents provide safe and nurturing homes for children who have been temporarily removed from their family homes. They work as part of a team to ensure that children are reunified with their families or provided with a permanent family through adoption or guardianship. It is important that foster parents are involved in case planning and have access to training, so they can help ensure positive outcomes for the children placed in their care.
