WHAT IS EXPECTED OF A FOSTER PARENT?
A foster parent must be committed to providing a safe and nurturing family environment for a child until he or she can return home to live with his or her biological family. Foster parents are expected to attend to and meet a child’s individual needs. Foster parents are expected to be meaningfully involved in all aspects of the child’s life: school, therapy, social network and others. Foster parents are expected to schedule visits with the social workers involved in the case and work with the biological families whenever appropriate.
