Can a person who previously had an open acs case become a foster parent?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The answer is complicated. I would say on average its 15%yes and 85% No. That is if the prior ACS case the person had was "Indicated" AKA Guilty AKA credible evidence was found by Child Protective Specialist that the allegation made in the report more likely than not occured. If the prior case was "Unfounded" AKA Not Guilty AKA no credible evidence was found by CPS then the prior case would not even matter when applying to become a foster parent. Although relatively few, there are some people whom have "Indicated" cases who become foster parent. However, this is usually in cases of kinship foster paent where the foster parent is genetically related or is considered family by the biological family of the foster child. And even in those few cases where this occurs, the certiifying foster care ageny must put in safety interventions in order to reduce risk of any potential harm to the child. ACS will also monitor your home closely and close your foster home if you have any "slip ups", which ultimately removes all foster children whom you were caring for at the time.

How can one help foster a love of reading in children?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

With reading, it always helps if the person is reading something that engages them and sparks their creative thinking. In other words: There is no better way to get a person to ead than to hand them something they will enjoy.

If the person is obligated to read something they don't like, breaking the work down into smaller pieces and having them read it little by little over time may get the job done.

Getting pregnant will not make you emancipated, only a judge can do that and you have to be able to prove you can provide for yourself and a number of other things. The foster family might decide not to keep you which would put you somewhere else.
