Answer It's not a hard thing to be a successful Foster Parent. You just need to have Love, lots of patience, remember they aren't mad at you (you just happen to be the one they are with and their parents aren't the way you are and they want them to be). Being a Foster parent for 6 years and an adoptive parent for 4 years, it is worth it. Remember when you are a Foster Parent, you are not just fostering a child, you are fostering a family. I've have learned that if you can build a relationship with the parents, they will be willing to hear and impliment you suggestions on their relationship with the children. They will also ask for help directally instead of throught the case worker. I still have parents I had their kids 5 years ago call me for suggestions. Just keep at it and remember you don't have to be perfect. Just remember, your house is the only normal place they have ever been and will know when they are grown, what a family is suppose to be like.
this is how you be a parent..no parent is successful, but whatever...you guide your childern, you dont boss them around, do not care how old they are, their still human beings., they too dont like to be pushed and shoved(plus its harder to get through to them that way...) You guide them with what they need to know to grow and become a responsible, accountable indivisuals. give them..how do you put it??..."tests"? for them to prove what they've gathered from your advice. Love them, talk with them, have two-way coversations...not one-way.( god i hate those...) have any other specific questions, ask me.
They do what parents otherwise would do. Often do they already have biological children and take other children in. Others only have foster kids. They can work, have their own business or one stays at home. Just like a ordinary family . Some have more knowledge about children with autism which makes them more suitable to take care of a child like that etc.
Some responsibilities are, making sure your house is clean, having enough money, and having a safe environment for the child.
Take a van, get some sweets, ask them if they want to see your puppie and a free ride home... Then take them for your own and tie them up... Simples ;)
The kids responsibility is just like the kids who live in a regular home the foster kids live there to why should they not clean up where they live.
If you want to see your girlfriend and you get permission from her foster parent then yes of course you can see her you just need the parents permission and her foster parent is her parent.
can you be a foster parent and have epilepsy
If this is by court order, the Foster Parent could be held in contempt and lose their certification.
You must apply to become a foster parent. Then take a Foster parent study. Next you must get approved to foster kids. After all this you can finally foster a child. wish you the best of luck! ALSO, Here is a good site for more information! http://www.adoptuskids.org/for-families/how-to-foster
No. The court should not rule that a foster parent be held responsible to transport foster children to visit a natural parent. The duties of the foster parent are governed by a contract between the foster parent and the state. When the court places extra duties and expenses on a foster parent without arranging for payment for time and expenses, the court is placing an undue burden on a particular person. Such is not the duty of the court. The court does not run the foster care program. The Administrative branch of government is assigned that responsibility. The court should not place an unfunded mandate on foster parents.
No, they have to be financially able to support themselves and the child though.
You can become a foster parent if you don't have a criminal record. You can not have an abusive environment for the child to come into.
No
Ca I still be a Foster Parent even if I'm an Epileptic Patient?
