Recruiting foster families is a difficult task, yet agencies can significantly increase their chances of successfully finding foster families and volunteers by designing a carefully planned strategy for engaging the community in foster care. This handbook was developed for that purpose. It provides tools to craft effective messages for the public, tips for working with the media, and other research ideas. These strategies will increase the number of qualified foster families, help to retain current foster families, and increase the number of volunteers to support foster families and children.

* What are the consequences of fostering for children, their carers and their birth families? * What are the best ways of recruiting, retaining and supporting foster carers? * What are the most important elements of a successful placement? * Can foster care offer a permanent alternative to care at home? Fostering Now brings together authoritative research on foster care in the UK. It provides a succinct overview of a wide range of research projects and highlights the main implications for policymakers and all professionals involved in the fostering process. Drawing on the varied experiences and views of foster children, social workers, foster carers and parents, this book looks at how placement outcomes are influenced by factors such as foster carers' parenting styles, contact with the child's own parents, and the child's gender, ethnicity, age and physical and emotional health. Other important areas examined include care given by relatives, the effects of foster care on education, and what happens to foster children when they return home. Fostering Now identifies the most significant challenges currently faced by foster care and draws out the key messages for policy and practice. It offers important insights into the state of foster care today, and suggests how it can be improved in future. This book is essential reading for social workers, policy makers, academics and foster carers.

Change a child's life! Reap the rewards of becoming a foster parent. Over 600,000 American children are in the foster care system each year—and the number is growing. So is the number of good-hearted people willing to become foster parents. But what does it take to become a foster parent? How does one begin? What about your own family? What does it cost? Success as a Foster Parent has the answers to these basic questions and much more. Written by Rachel Greene Baldino, MSW, in association with the National Foster Parent Association, it is the first and only commercially available book to clearly explain the process of becoming a foster parent. Readers will learn: • The questions to ask before making the decision to be a foster caregiver • How to research local state and private agencies • The financial cost and the compensation • The challenges involved in caring for children from infants to teens, including physically- and psychologically-challenged kids • Issues relating to schools, birth parents, supervisory visits, vacations, and dozens of other factors • All about adoption In addition to concrete information, there are dozens of moving stories drawn from interviews with veteran foster parents and tips about caregiving.

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.
