Do you want to make a difference in the life of a child? Foster parents, also known as "resource families," provide love, care and guidance to children until they can be returned to their parents or move to a permanent home through adoption or guardianship.
Some people are foster parents and prospective adoptive parents at the same time. They provide ongoing care to children who may be legally freed for adoption. These are fos-adopt parents.
The Sacramento County Sacramento County Foster Home Licensing program supports, trains and offers guidance to foster parents/resource families before they become licensed.
The Foster Care Program:
- Recruits foster families
- Provides information and training to prospective families
- Evaluates potential foster homes to ensure each meets space and safety requirements
- Investigates and assesses applications from prospective foster families
- Interviews prospective foster families
- Issues and updates foster home licenses
We are looking for people who can:
- Help children in temporary care homes feel that they have a "home of their own"
- Help them maintain and improve relationships with others
- Assist them with adjustment in school
- Understand and respect the importance of the children's bond with their natural families
- Meet the needs of your own family while sharing your family with the children placed in your home
* Contact the reception office at 875-5543 for orientation dates and time.
