What:
Do you enjoy caring for babies or young children? Maybe you would like to help a teenager prepare for adult life as he or she finishes high school. Becoming a foster parent opens up a wide range of possibilities as you provide a temporary home to children and youth in need. Although these children have often experienced neglect or abuse, with patience and guidance, they can blossom in a stable home environment.
