CDSS Websites Right Column Foster Parent FAQs 1. Who are the children? Thousands of children in California's foster care system require temporary out-of-home care because of parental neglect, abuse or exploitation. The largest percentages are African American and Latino children. Some stay in foster care for weeks; some for years. The children are of all ages and varying needs. 2. What is the role of a foster parent? Foster parents provide a supportive and stable family for children who cannot live with their birth parents until family problems are resolved. In most cases, foster parents work with social services staff to reunite the child with birth parents. Foster parents often provide care to many different children. 3. How do I become a foster parent? A license is required to operate a foster home. The process requires a licensing worker to visit your home and meet with you and other family members. Minimum personal, safety and space requirements are required by law. Foster parents work with social services staff to determine the type of child best suited for their home (i.e., age, health issues, and gender). 4. Can I afford to do this?

The number of children that are available for adoption range widely depending upon the state, time of year, and the year in question. It is safe to say that up to 20 percent of the kids in care are not returning to their biologic parent(s). These children may be available for adoption, guardianship and/or long-term foster care. In some states, children over the age of 13 can have a say in their permanency planning. Through no fault of their own, children end up in the foster care system for a wide range of reasons. The more common reasons include neglect, abandonment, exposure to drugs and alcohol, physical abuse and sexual abuse. But sometimes it can be a case of a parent(s) dying and there is no one left to care for the child, cases of medical need, or that the family is simply not equipped to parent the child.

My goal was to do the reading, take the test and be done with it. Well, surprise, surprise. I loved it!!! The lesson had so much more information in it than just about anger management. It touched on different ways we see the acting out of children (and adults) who are experiencing episodes of unresolved anger.

His hearing was at 8:30 a.m. We went into the judge's chambers with ten of our family members and friends. Cameron got to sit on the judge's lap as he signed the order. It was short, sweet, and anti-climatic. We went out to breakfast, got a lot of present giving out of the way, went to my school (where the kids threw me a mini surprise party) and then we went to an indoor play area for a couple hours. We had a pizza lunch there and then went home and rested for awhile before our small group came over for some cake and Guitar Hero. It was a great day. And now we're on to the rest of our lives. We are still in the foster parenting "business" and are once again "expecting" who knows when! I'll keep you posted if/when anything is worth reporting. (Cameron's shirt says: "I'm a Keeper". We took this picture over the summer, and I've kept it to post today.

However, the foster parenting lifestyle can hurt your marriage if you don't have solid communication skills and the ability to deal with stressful situations.

FOSTER CARE: A Call to Action FOSTER CARE: A Call to Action produced by ABC News in June, 2006, provides an indepth look at the foster care system in the United States. Be Cautious We are NOT saying that married couples should refrain from sharing their lives with foster children.

Whatever the case may be, here are some factors you should consider before applying for a home study which is the next step in becoming foster parents. This could mean a stable marriage and a generally happy household because it is crucial for foster children not to be caught amidst a conflicting home because many have history of abuse, separation or death of a loved one. Are You Patient? Anyone who even remotely considers foster parenting needs to be patient, not just with children, but patient in every way. This is because just the process of becoming a foster parent is long and tedious. Most families have to be fingerprinted and have detailed background checks to make them suitable candidates.
