The rewards are worth the struggles. I can't imagine not being a foster parent.
Foster Care Questions & Answers
Can foster parents have pets?
Absolutely. Your pets will need to be up to date on vaccines, and a pet's temperament will be discussed if there is a concern.
Can I choose the age of children I want to foster?
Foster parents can choose their preferred age range. However, if you wish to foster younger children, CCR asks for a minimum age range of 0-10 years, including openness to siblings. The greatest need across Wisconsin is more homes for young siblings and teens.
Parenting children and youth who have lived through trauma is hard. Their past abuse, neglect, and chaos often show up as big emotions, challenging behaviors, and deep mistrust. Traditional parenting approaches don’t work. CCR foster parents need flexibility, patience, and a willingness to meet kids in their hardest moments so they can finally feel safe—and begin to heal.
