Foster Parents

Foster parents are individuals or families licensed to provide temporary, safe, and nurturing homes for children who cannot live with their birth families due to various reasons, such as neglect, abuse, or family crisis. They offer stability, support, and care while professionals work to resolve the child's situation or find a permanent solution. Foster care is a vital part of the child welfare system and involves ongoing oversight, training, and collaboration with social workers to ensure the child's needs are met during a challenging time.
