FOSTER PARENTING

Fostering a child is one of the most rewarding, challenging, meaningful things anyone can do to solve the foster care crisis and be a positive influence in the life of a child.

Virginia, along with most other states, is in dire need of foster families who:

​

  • Understand that reunification to a stable, healthy birth family is often in the child's best interests.

  • Understand that the placement is temporary and short-term.

  • Are willing to work in conjunction with the birth family to ensure the long-term wellbeing of the child.

  • Willing to take sibling sets, older kids and kids with special needs.

  • Willing to create a trauma-informed home environment.

  • Patient at the right times with a system that is overwhelmed and persistent at other times to ensure the best services for their child in foster care.

  • Single
