Foster parents are people. They represent different ages, races and income levels. Most foster parents are married, but there are single foster parents too. Many foster parents have biological or adopted children living at home. Some have never had children of their own, and, still others have raised their own children to adulthood. There are foster parents who go to your church, work with you at your office or factory, or live in your neighborhood.
The basic requirements for becoming a foster parent generally include that you:
- Are 21 years of age, or older; are in good physical and emotional health; meet your state or local requirements for housing safety, space and equipment; have the skills attitude and stamina to effectively deal with the many behaviors and feelings displayed by children and youth; have a non-punitive attitude and can demonstrate some level of acceptance toward the parents of the children in care; can work cooperatively with the representatives of the foster care agency;
- are accepting of the temporary nature of foster care and can help a child transition back to his family or move on to a permanent or adoptive placement.
Children and youth may need foster care home placements for a variety of reasons:
- they have been emotionally, the physical or mental incapacity of their parents; they are abandoned; the drug, alcohol or other chemical abuse by their parent; the child's behavioral or emotional problems; or,
- the separation, divorce or death
