Become a Role Model

Foster parents also provide important guidance and serve as role models for their foster children. Your patience, understanding, and guidance can help foster children learn to cope with difficult emotions, build relationships, and develop life skills that will help them transition into adulthood.

Gain a New Perspective on Life

In addition to helping children, being a foster parent can change your life as well. Overcoming the challenges that foster care can bring can help you grow as a person and may even develop deeper empathy and understanding for the struggles of others.

Build a Family

Foster children often come from difficult situations and may not have a family or any other support system in place. By opening your home, you can help them build a family and provide them with a safe and stable environment, which is essential to their emotional and physical well-being.
Foster care offers a unique opportunity to make a lasting, positive impact on a child’s life. Becoming a foster parent can also provide you with a rewarding experience and help you grow as a person. If you are interested in becoming a foster parent, contact Family Care for Children & Youth (FCCY) to learn more about the process.

"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.
