4 Benefits of Becoming a Foster Parent

At Family Care for Children & Youth (FCCY), we believe in making real, positive changes through foster care, respite care, adoption services, and more. We want to help children in need find the care and support they need to live healthy and enriching lives. If you’re considering becoming a foster parent in Pennsylvania, we hope this post will help you see the benefits. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at any time!

 

Make a Difference

Even if it’s only for a short period of time, you can make a difference in the life of a child by offering a safe and nurturing environment. Many children we help have been through difficult situations, and just need a stable place to call home for a time.

Build Relationships

While you may only provide foster care for a few months at a time, you can build a relationship with a child and be a positive influence on their life. Children need good role models, and your influence can help them grow and thrive.

Help a Child in Need

Life’s circumstances can change quickly, and a child may need to be placed in foster or respite care at a moment’s notice. By becoming a foster parent, you can be available to take a child into your home when they need it the most.

Find a Forever Home

While a child may not live with you forever, by providing foster care, you can offer stability and security while a forever home is found for them. Instead of bouncing around from home to home, a child can enjoy the nurturing environment of your home until they are adopted or are able to return to their family.

"THEY CARE ABOUT THE CHILDREN AND ARE VERY THOROUGH"

My husband and I always tell people that talk to us about wanting to foster or adopt about our agency. We enjoy working with this agency because the staff not only care about the careful placement of a child but also about us as a family. Our agency is available and quick to respond to us whether we have an emergency or just a question. They care about the children and are very thorough to ensure the children and the foster family are getting what they need.

"WE ENJOY GIVING BACK"

Fostering is very positive experience not only for ourselves but also for the child’s well-being. We enjoy giving back. Providing a loving, nurturing home to a child gives the child an opportunity to have a normal childhood as possible.

"WE WOULD RECOMMEND FCCY"

Picking FCCY to work with has been the best thing my husband and I could have done. We have had only positive experiences with this agency. The case managers are so good and give you total support as a foster parent. We would recommend FCCY to others looking into foster care.
