Child Focus will be starting a foster parent recruitment effort with sign postings and #Foster4ChildFocus.  There is absolutely a critical need for foster homes, particularly because of the rise in opoiod use.  Forty-five percent more children are in the system now than 5 years ago, they stay in the system longer and ultimately need adopted.  Homes for sibling groups, babies born addicted and special needs children are of utmost priority at this time.

At-risk parents need mentoring, child development information, education and training, role modeling, hands-on parent guidance provided by highly skilled parent educators, daily living skills training and concrete resources and social supports.     

When children are unable to live with their birth parents, they are best cared for in alternate healthy families. Licensed foster parents need commitment in their hearts, specialized training and preparation and unlimited support to promote healthy, well-adjusted children and birth families.
