what does it take to be a foster parent? (legal and emotional)

what motivates people to becoming a foster parent?

how effective is foster care for the children?

Is anyone else frightened by the spelling and grammar people use on yahoo answers? I weep for the future….

Anyway, here are some good questions to ask:

How many of the kids in foster homes go on to be adopted by their foster families?

There are a lot of horror stories in the media about abusive foster families. What statisics are available to show how frequent abuse does occur in foster homes?

Foster kids have always faced negative stigma from the public, being seen by some as unwanted children who have done something to deserve being taken from their homes. Has this changed very much over the years? What are some ways we can try to change this stigma?

How difficult or easy is it for a child who is in a bad situation at home to become a ward of the state?

You can also reseach common misconceptions. a very good source is “The Lost Boy” by Dave Pelzer.

be sure to use spell check on your paper–and have someone edit your grammar.

How old does the child have to be to leave a foster home. Does the child get to back and live with their real parents. Can a foster parent addopt a foster kid. ( yes )

how does the person that is going to be taking care of them get chosen. ( foster parents ) Most kids are put into foster care for many reasons. Unfit parents. Unfit home. Abuse. Behavior disorders. ETC. I have an aunt who is a foster mom. If you have any questions just send me a message. k. bye

How do foster parents safeguard themselves against false accusations? I know this sounds bad but I know of a few situations where foster parents were wrongfully accused of harming the children in their care because one of the children got mad at them and thought it would be a good way to get even. I’m not saying bad things don’t happen sometimes to children in foster families but most the time these are people who want to do a good thing and have opened up their home and welcomed a child in. Unfortunately sometimes these children also have emotional problems that have to be worked through. Good luck on your paper! 🙂

You can ask what are the qualifications to become a foster parent.How much are foster parents paid. Also,if background checks are required in all states.Many kids in my area are abused or even killed while in foster care.Good luck

You could ask questions about what happens to kids once they are 18 — what do they do? They don’t have a permanent home, so where do they go? Do they learn skills to survive while in the system so they can be successful when they are out?

Good luck.

if it cost anything
