Book excerpt: Trends from across the nation are that there is a shortage of foster parents for the number of children in foster care. In a rural northern California county, it is typically a struggle to find a place for children removed from their homes to be placed by the Child Welfare agency, even for an overnight situation. Many times, the family does not have relatives or close friends that are able to take children, and become approved to do so in a timely, emergent manner. This master's project examines how foster parents identify their strengths so that a rural northern county in California can start recruiting and retaining foster parents for their strengths. Recruitment is often a challenge, but retaining good, competent foster parents is an essential way to keep children safe and free from harm. Many times, people want to become foster parents to adopt children, and once they have adopted, are no longer foster parents. Overcoming this obstacle with recruitment efforts focused on strengths of existing foster parents will enhance overall retention within the system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people embark on the journey of adoption and foster care but are unprepared for the challenges that await them along the way. Replanted takes an honest look at the joys and hardships that come with choosing this journey and provides a model of faith-based support made up of three parts to help families thrive: Soil, Sunlight, and Water. Soil, or emotional support, addresses the need for grace-filled settings where families can connect with other families who understand their experience. Sunlight, or informational support, focuses on obtaining helpful training to raise children who may have unique needs or challenges. Water, or tangible support, deals with concrete resources such as medical care, child care, and financial support. Throughout the book, the Replanted model is brought to life by stories and examples based on the clinical work and personal experiences of the authors. Their candid insight will serve families who are actively involved in adoption or foster care, as well as people who are eager to help support those families. Replanted affirms that with the right support system in place, parents can answer this sacred call not only with open hearts but also with their eyes wide open.

Book excerpt: "Recruitment of foster and adoptive families is a tremendous challenge to state child welfare systems. Sixty-four percent of children adopted from the child welfare system in 1996 were adopted by their foster parents. If this trend persists, these families will be lost from the pool of available foster and adoptive families for children in out-of-home care. This [document] provides an overview of the messages and unique approaches of eight states with innovative and rigorous recruitment strategies."--Publisher website.
