Local agencies are working to end the foster care crisis in our community by hosting virtual sessions to get residents informed and signed up to be foster parents.
"It is scary. There’s a lot of challenging pieces, but with the appropriate skills and resources that come with going through a private agency, you have the tools and resources needed in order to be successful at foster parenting," said Stephanie Barron.
"A lot of times these families do struggle with infertility, and most of the time, they’re looking to add children to their family who are young, so they can get those experiences," said Barron. Foster agencies say they can’t stress enough the importance of providing safe homes for older children and teens. They're also reminding the public that the purpose of foster care is to help a child until they can be placed back with their biological family.
