Search Department of Social Services Child Protection Services 700 Governors Drive Pierre, SD 57501 Email Becoming a Foster Parent in South Dakota The decision to become a foster parent is a very important one. There are many children waiting to be taken in by loving parents. To become a foster parent, the first step is to contact a local Department of Social Services office. Once this has been done the process begins. Contact a local Department of Social Services office If you live in the Sioux Falls area, contact Children's Home Society at Once contact has been made, a social worker will explain the children needing foster care and outline the requirements for being a foster parent. A packet containing various information will be delivered to anyone requesting information. At anytime during this procedure, it may be determined that a family does not meet some non-negotiable requirements. This means that there is some problem with a family meeting certain requirements. It is important to talk with a social worker if this occurs. The next step includes what is called a home consultation. In this consultation, the social worker will do a home safety checklist. The social worker will also discuss all the responsibilities of becoming a foster parent in more detail.

127. Becoming A Foster Parent home. Becoming a foster parent, a treatment foster parent and/oran adoptive parent is a noble and rewarding experience. A home http://www.co.union.oh.us/temp/Job___Family_Services/Social_Services/Becoming_a_

When a child is removed from his family and home, the uncertainty of where he will go, who he will stay with, where he will sleep, is uppermost on his mind. Many Union county children who have been abused, neglected or abandoned, or who have problems their parents find too difficult to handle, need a temporary family-like setting. Union County Department of Job and Family Services removes children from their homes only when there are no other options. When removal must occur, it is essential to place children in the least restrictive, most appropriate setting possible. As a small county, we are fortunate to have a continuum of placement services available. RELATIVE PLACEMENT: Friends, neighbors, teachers or other families that the child has a current relationship with, may be an appropriate placement. The goal is to have the child with someone they are familiar with and to keep them in their neighbor and current school district. RESPITE CARE PLACEMENT: Often, families may just need a break from each other as stress and daily living can be overwhelming. Respite care is short term placement that allows for a "cooling off" period or to renew one's energy. It may be a one time placement for thirty days or less, or a regularly scheduled event such as one weekend a month.

Boyd, Star Tribune October 23, 2002 FOSVAR Animal lovers who aren't quite ready to own a pet 24/7 have another alternative: becoming a "foster" parent. Each year, hundreds of dogs and cats are taken to humane societies and rescue groups. Some of these animals need special care that a shelter cannot provide: They might be pregnant, or require treatment for an illness or injury. Foster care benefits both the organization and the animal a humane society can focus on finding homes for healthy animals while animals in need of care have a loving, temporary home until they are ready for adoption. Volunteers nurse animals, mostly dogs and cats, back to health, at which point the animals can return to the shelter's adoption floor. Animals can be in foster care anywhere from a few weeks to several months. After having her cat eutha nized last year, Kris Dunlap wasn't ready to own another pet right away. But Dunlap, of White Bear Lake, liked having animals around the house, so she did the next best thing: She became "foster mother" to a cat and her 4-day-old kittens.After an interview and a 1 1/2-hour training session, Dunlap was given a manual "with everything you need to know about animals."
