Foster parents provide a special service to children and to the community by providing love and ongoing care to children who cannot live with their birth families. Children come into foster care because their biological families are unable to take care of them. Foster families provide temporary homes until these children can be reunited with their own parents or move on to a permanent home. Foster care may last for a few weeks or a few months, but it is almost always temporary. Foster parents do much more than provide shelter and supervision. They accept the challenge of nurturing the children in their care by providing stability, acceptance, guidance and love. Some parents are foster parents and prospective adoptive parents at the same time. These parents are known as Concurrent Caregivers. Concurrent caregivers provide love, and ongoing care to children who are not able to live with their birth families. These are children who the Court may legally free for adoption.
