Different types of foster caring.
Just like people, Fostering Agencies are not all the same. They have different support, allowances, quality of training, and access to respite care and support groups. Not all agencies foster babies, some prefer to look after teenagers, some agencies expect you to be at home full time, others are happy if you have another job. Although agencies have similar expectations, it’s important that you have a clear understanding from the start.
Some factors to consider.
Before deciding to become a foster carer there are a few things that should be considered. Along with the training and support provided by the fostering agencies, you need to know you have a sound and reliable support network of friends and family who can help if stressful situations arise.
As well as making sure you are matched with the right age and gender of foster kids, you will need to be flexible and able to work with social workers who should visit on a regular basis. Foster carers need to be comfortable communicating with the biological parents of the foster child, as that might be a part of the job.
Is it time for a change?
Do you want to make a positive change in your life? Do you want to experience the satisfaction of keeping children from more harm and seeing them settle down and start thriving?
Then become a foster carer and feel the sense of fulfillment that doing something worthwhile brings, and be the person who can make a difference in a child’s life.
