A. No. Upon rare occasion a foster parent may want to discontinue being a licensed foster parent, but wants to continue caring for a particular foster child. In such a situation, the county must determine if the foster parent meets the definition of a NREFM only if it is perceived as in the best interests of the child and then assess and approve the former foster parent as a NREFM per the approval standards.
