Book excerpt: Foster homes are limited and there are not enough placements to meet the needs of local children and youth in the foster care system. Over the last few years as foster homes have dwindled, more and more foster children have had to be placed in foster homes out of county, away from their communities, their schools and their families. There is a fundamental need for recruitment and retention of foster care placements. Other counties in California have been successful in implementing foster parent recruitment that has generated enough foster homes to meet their needs for placements. One such program has been able to place more of their foster children in the county and is placing far less of their foster children in homes outside of the county. This project will explore successful lessons learned in the recruitment and retention of foster families through the interview of the creator and director of the program.

Step by step, foster parents are guided through the crucial decisions and directed to the vital information they will need to foster parent effectively.

Download or read book Advocating for Children in Foster and Kinship Care written by Mitchell Rosenwald and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to provide strategies for effective advocacy and placement within the foster care and kinship care systems. It also takes a rare look at the dynamics of the foster and kinship relationship, not just among children and the agency workers and service providers who intervene on their behalf, but also between children and those who take in and care for them as permanency develops. Drawing on their experience interacting with and writing about the institution of foster care, Mitchell Rosenwald and Beth N. Riley have composed a unique text that helps practitioners, foster parents, and relative caregivers realize successful transitions for youth, especially considering the traumas these children may suffer both before and after placement. Advocating for a child's best interests must begin early and remain consistent throughout assignment and adjustment. For practitioners, Rosenwald and Riley emphasize the best techniques for assessing a family's capabilities and for guiding families through the challenges of foster care. Part one details the steps potential foster parents and kinship caregivers must take, with the assistance of practitioners, to prepare themselves for placement. Part two describes tactics for successful advocacy within the court system, social service agencies, schools, and the medical and mental health establishments. Part three describes how to lobby for change at the agency and legislative levels, as well as within a given community. The authors illustrate recommendations through real-life scenarios and devote an entire chapter to brokering positive partnerships among practitioners, families, and other teams working to protect and transition children.
