What if I / we can only take a certain type of child into the home?
Creating a successful match between child and foster family is a collaborative process that begins with the foster family setting the terms of what ages and types of children they are able to care for. It is always up to the foster family to choose their limits and boundaries around the age and need of the child. Before placing a child in the home, our department will already have a clear idea of what child or youth would be a good match for your family and lifestyle because of the safe home study process.
