Anyone can be a foster parent!

There are so many kids in foster care and they really could use our help. Many are removed from their homes with only the clothes on their backs. They have gone through a lot, (some more than others) and they just want to feel loved and safe. Even though times are tough right now and everyone is cutting back, there are still ways to help those who need it the most.

It’s not difficult to become a foster parent, as long as you have space in your home and room in your heart. There are a few other things too, so I’ve included the link for those who want to help out. You are given a monthly stipend, they’ll have health care insurance and therapy for the child (should they need it). Need to know more? Click here: How to be a foster parent

Most importantly provide a safe and loving environment for them. I never thought that I was able to be a foster parent because I am a single person with no children of my own. Unfortunate circumstances happened and the opportunity arose, and I didn’t hesitate to take in my niece. She was only 6 at the time, now she is 9. I’ve watched her go from having nightmare’s almost every night and having behavior problems at school to almost no nightmare’s and very rare behavior problems. She is smart as can be and loves to learn! Just this year, I adopted her. I even let her choose to keep her last name as it was or change it. After much deliberation, she decided to change it.
