Because:
- you love children and have a big heart for all of them and especially for those in need.
- you have a great deal of patience.
- you are very understanding and a good listeners which will come in handy since many of the children comes with a emotional baggage.
- you are prepared for that you are just a temporary home and want to help the kids to either go back to their parents when their situation has cleared up or into adoption.
- you can treat them just like you treat your own so they don't feel distanced form the family (which they already do due to the situation, no need to add any)
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.

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
Yes. This is implemented in order to help a soon-to-be parent (adoptive or foster)prepare for their future rolls.
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.
Becoming a foster parent can be very difficult for some people due to the very long process that is involved. You can find out more about this process at the website www.fosterparenting.com/foster-care/foster-parenting.html.

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.
Dear God, I hope not. If a foster family celebrates a special occasion like their anniversary, and they DO NOT get drunk, I would think that's ok. I would even think it's ok to have a glass of wine w/dinner, but it is not ok for a foster parent to get drunk. If there is drug use, and it's not something that's given due to a medical condition, then a foster parent should never do drugs. The foster parent(s) have a duty to set a good example, and to certainly do it while being sober. If you are in a situation with foster parent(s) doing drugs and drinking, you should let your case worker know. If you are asking this question because you want to become a foster parent, please keep in mind that these children are probably coming to you out of a bad situation. For the sake of the children, don't even try to foster a child if you are drinking and/or doing drugs. It is a privilege to have a child in your home, and that child deserves all the love and support he/she can get.
