An honest review from a foster dad. Being a foster parent requires an array of support. Not the kind of support we think you might need, more importantly, the support you want and know you need. That is what makes CCR different than other agencies. By providing dependable, weekly home visits we support our foster parents through their fostering journey! Any county. Any town. Anyone can explore becoming a foster parent with us. Adoption through foster care is possible. Many of our foster parents have adopted their kiddos and built beautiful families. (see our recent post on 12/5) However, if your end goal is to adopt, the odds may not be in your favor. Especially if you want a "little one". Being a Wisconsin foster parent with us means depending on your highly experienced Clinical Case Manager to visit you and your kiddos WEEKLY. In-home visits and support services are why so many foster families choose Community Care Resources. A beautiful family built through foster care. ❤️ This photo oozes with love! This is what foster care can do. It changes lives in magnificent ways. Only those who give of themselves fully, who love and accept without consideration for what they will get in return, can truly understand.

The reality is; less than 15% of kids we place in out of home care are under the age of five. Of those, most have siblings and ideally, the group will be placed together in one foster home. If you are considering becoming a foster parent as a means to adopt a younger child, please be aware that less than 15% of our kiddos are adopted, most are over the age of six, and many are sibling groups.
Being a foster parent is an amazing, unpredictable journey. We are seeing more and more sibling groups in need of a home that will accept them all. This could mean 2, 3, 4 or even 5 kiddos. We currently have a Rock County family caring for a sibling group of 5. (that is Ellen worthy!)
If you are considering becoming a foster parent, we encourage you to open your heart and home to sibling groups of all ages. If adoption is meant to be part of that journey, it will present itself as an option as it has for many of our amazing foster parents. What a gift that would be.❤️

It cannot be summed up in a Facebook post how great the need is for more foster homes. Foster parenting can be very joyous and positive and the kids, well, they just want to be loved and accepted. Giving until it hurts is often what it takes. Look at this beautiful family photo and believe what can be done by simply giving to a child and believing they are just like any other kid who wants to fit in and have a stable family.
