Who can become a NAC foster parent?
NAC recruits mature, committed, loving foster parents. Often these individuals have either worked in the medical field or have managed medical issues in their personal lives. They have the ability to handle medical emergencies and the capacity to learn to use medical technology in order to help foster children stay in a home setting. Potential foster parents may be single, married, divorced, gay or lesbian, younger (at least 21 years of age) or older, with or without children. Beyond being able to care for a child with medical issues, these adults must be capable of providing an emotionally stable home and necessary housing space for a foster child or children. Bedrooms can be shared with two other children, but each foster child must have his or her own bed or crib and children of the opposite sex can only share a room if they are under seven years of age. There are no specific income requirements, other than that a potential foster parent has a means of support (proof of income).
