jbjb You have to have a huge heart to be a foster parent Because when you become a foster
parent the state is asking you to fulfill the roll of a parent who at least temporarily,
if not permanently is unable to do it. We are foster parents because we really passionate
about helping children in particular teenagers. We ve been foster parents for almost five
years. I have worked with children of all different cultures, have broadened my horizons
However when you come in as a foster parent you must come in with the understanding that
in all likelihood it s temporary So you re going to love the child like he or she is
your own and then you always have to be prepared to give that child back You just love the
kids as much as you can when they re therer you know they are placed with you for a reason,
and you just take care of them and do the best you can with them during the time that
they need you. I mean if you hear the stories from foster care kids, it touches kids In
preparation for becoming a foster parent you must complete a 30 hour MAPP training program
I teach the MAPP class and it really is a fun class, people come in and its like, oh
no the class, but it really, its informative, its great. In addition to that there is background
screenings, there is also home study And then if everything seems to be a good fit they
put you through for licensing. To be able to give that to kids, that hope, that there
is someone that cares about you that loves you that wants to be there for you, you know
its just amazing People don t care about us but actually want to take care of us. (could
you listen? This does not make sense to ME????) You have to have a huge heart to be a foster
