Fostering

Foster Care may be a good fit for your family if...

  • You care about kids AND their families and want to make a difference in their lives. Though you realize it can be challenging, you support children returning to their biological families.
  • You are not in the season of life to make a life-long commitment, but you want to help children.
  • You are excited to offer support and encouragement to birth parents.
  • Though not necessarily your primary motive for doing foster care, you are open to being a permanent long-term option should a child in your home need it at some point. (Called "concurrent family" and is entirely optional).

Adoption

Adoption may be a good fit for your family if...

  • You are ready to provide a lifetime commitment to youth needing permanency.
  • You have an abundance of love and stability to help youth walk through the natural grief and loss that come with the adoption process.
  • You understand the importance of maintaining biological relationships with extended family members when it's safe and appropriate for your adopted child.
  • You have or are in the process of, or plan on, obtaining your home study.

Ways to help


Serve & Support the Foster Community

There are many ways to support the foster community without becoming a foster parent. Organize a diaper/clothes/toys drive, thank your local Social Workers, share the need for foster parents in your community. If you’re not sure how you can best support the foster community, get in touch with us for ideas!

Become a Foster Parent

Foster families are needed in your community. Children in care need families of every race, marital status, religion, age, income, educational background or sexual orientation to best support them. You don’t need to own your own home, have children already, be young, wealthy, or a stay-at-home parent to foster. Visit Fostering Idaho to learn more.

A Career in Child Welfare

Eastern Washington University offers many programs. Social work within child welfare is a fulfilling career. EWU offers both a BSW and MSW program. There are Child Welfare practicums in North Idaho.
