Calling All Foster Parents

With Foster Parent Awareness Month coming in May I thought we could get a jump on the celebration by profiling some of our foster parents. For those willing to be profiled, be also willing to join in on discussions in the forum to build up our foster parent community.

To be a part of the celebration please email me the following information about your foster family:

First names only or forum nickname

State/Country of residence

Number of years fostering

What ages of foster children are you licensed for

Favorite parenting tip that has really come in handy over the years.

What you wish you knew about fostering when you first started.

What keeps you going – why do you keep doing foster care?

Then come to the foster parent forum to exchange ideas, relieve stress, and make new friends. Look for more opportunities to participate on About Adoption & Foster Care as Foster Care Awareness Month approaches. Remember when in the forum to not use your foster children's names, specific case details, or photos. Confidentiality is very important. We owe it to the children and their families.
