To the contrary, we are decidedly for any good parenting, and certainly are supportive of all good caregivers whether parents, foster parents, etc. Neither are we anti-government, though a strong strain of vigilance or almost libertarian `scepticism` pervades our work.

They come from many different backgrounds and reflect the cultural diversity of the state. At the beginning of 2005, about 1,900 Montana children were in foster care because they had been abused, neglected, or abandoned by their parents or other caretakers. Many of the children in foster care are insecure, frightened, confused, and angry about what has happened to them.

75. Foster Parents Speak foster parents are, and will be, challenged to create shared parenting relationships with If you could ask the foster parents in the video a question, http://www.nysccc.org/Video/videoguide.htm

Foster Parents Speak: Crossing Bridges and Fostering Change Video Produced by PhotoSynthesis Productions in collaboration with NYS Citizens' Coalition for Children, Inc. Introduction: In the post-ASFA world, family foster care is viewed as a temporary extension of the child's family, not as a replacement for it. In this new approach foster and birth families work as teammates with caseworkers in caring for children. Foster parents are, and will be, challenged to create shared parenting relationships with birth families and agencies that protect children in a community of care as they move through the system. Creating those relationships requires an effort on everyoneÕs part. There must be planning, good communication and cooperation among all parties for shared parenting to work. The video, ÒFoster Parents Speak: Crossing Bridges and Fostering ChangeÓ presents ten foster parents speaking candidly about the challenges in developing and nurturing shared parenting relationships with birth families and professionals to benefit the children in their care. They share real life techniques and strategies for improving communication and cooperation to create partnerships that support children in the foster care system. Discussion Starter Questions: Before viewing the video, talk about your perceptions of foster parenting in general and foster parent roles as members of the permanency planning team, mentors, and co-parents with birth families. After viewing the film talk about whether or not any of your perceptions about foster parenting and relationships between foster and birth families have changed.

Who do I contact for more information about becoming a foster parent? Q. Why be a foster parent? The family is the best place for a child to grow. But some children are abused and neglected in their own families. They need someone who can provide them with a safe and supportive temporary home. Foster parents provide care for children who have been abused and neglected and cannot remain in their own homes. Foster parents are essential partners of the state's services to children. CAF depends on foster parents to do the day-to-day parenting for these children until they can either return safely to their own homes or until an alternate permanent plan can be implemented. Without foster parents there would be no place for some children to learn to feel safe and know what it means to have someone care just because they are there. Top Q.
