Social workers do not foster children ! Social workers (amongst other duties) ensure the safety of someone (not necessarily a child) assigned to them. In the case of a child - the child would be placed in the care of a family, or foster home - and the social worker would visit regularly to assess the care, needs and well-being of the child.Although a social worker will have some input during the hearing - essentially, it's the court that decides who the child should be best placed with.
Ask her Social Worker
I am pretty sure it is a social worker.
The field of a social worker offers many options for working with youth. These jobs generally fall under the "child, family and school" type of social work. A job in a foster home is one example. Working as an adoption specialist would be another.
You can request foster care by going to your Children & Families and talking with a social worker.
A family social workker is someone who helps familys sort out their problems
An adoptive social worker helps both the birth family and the adoptive family with support during the transition stage. The social worker will help the birth parents by referring them to counselors and will help the adoptive family by making sure they have all the resources they need for the child.
family services
If the court allow you to, yes. Talk to your social worker what is required of you.
You have to go through the social worker tied to the child's case I believe.
It depends on the circumstances and if the parents agrees. Talk to a lawyer and the social worker attached to the case. Some kids stay on the foster family until they are 18.
Many of my personal life expierences have motivated me to help others just like my family and I received help from a social worker.
