Why a Foster Community?

The greatest benefit of providing foster care in a community setting is the availability of support for the foster families. Many of the children placed into foster care have a myriad of problems brought about by physical and sexual abuse and neglect. Often these children present extreme behavior problems that take foster parents to the limit of their training and tolerance very quickly. It is at these times that foster parents need the support of neighbors, supervisors, and friends who understand their situation and are trained and willing to help.  Additionally, these behaviors are often played out in the community in which the foster family lives causing neighbors to demand that the children be moved. Research shows that the number one reason foster parents have a child removed from their care and/or quit fostering altogether is this lack of support from their community.    READ MORE >>
