Here's an example of a foster parent sharing in court! I plan to make this a series, this one is just in the early stages. Things are new and not a lot has really happened. Consider still providing a statement, so that the court knows you like to contribute. A few considerations: - Ask about statements ahead of time. Do they happen in your courts? Does it need to be written and submitted ahead of time? Asking a local foster parent group can be really helpful for this (I have a list on my website

Kids in foster care — especially tweens and teens — need safe homes right now. Too many are still sleeping in offices and hotels.

It’s possible to work full time while providing foster care but from my experience, it isnt easy. It took flex time, remote work, support services, and strategic planning. How do you make it work? Let me know in the comments! ⬇️💛🙏 | Laura • Foster Parent Partner

If your friend is seeking adoption from foster care, it's important that we honor primary families and not celebrate their trauma. While permanency can be what is best for the child to keep them safe, the moment of TPR is the worst outcome a family can face. TPR=Termination of parental rights. #fostercare #fosterparent #fosterparenting #fosterchild #fostertoadopt #fostercareadoption #tpr #cps | Laura • Foster Parent Partner

Communicating your concerns with the childs professional team is an important part of the advocacy work a foster parent does. That being said, kids are listening and they are understanding so much of what we share - even if we think its privately discussed in the other room. This can be harmful because kids take in this information without our help and support, and it can hurt their self esteem or trigger them. Concerns may be better addressed in email or a team meeting… or with the child direct
