FOSTER HOMES FOR "SPECIAL NEEDS"
CHILDREN Children are continuously coming
into foster care. Foster care provides for the emo
tional and physical well-being of a child temporari
ly. A person wanting to become a foster parent
should take a look at hisher personal situation.
Could heshe best serve a child for emergency care
a few weeks, months, or long-term care, which
could mean years of caring for a child?
The Durham County Department of Social Ser
vices needs foster parents for school age children,
children with emotional problems, physical and -mental
handicaps adolescents, and sibling groups,
"special needs" children. The basic requirements to
become foster parents are not that difficult. One
must: be 21 to 65 years old;
provide a healthy living environment and meet
standards for sanitation and fire safety;
have adequate sleeping space; and
have a stable income.
The crucial and most important criterion for
becoming a foster parent is to be able to be commit
ted to helping children. Most of these children will
come into care with emotional problems related to
physical, emotional or sexual abuse, neglect, aban
donment or death of their parents or legal
caretakers. The loss of family and . friends, and
familiar places can be extremely traumatic for a
child. He may manifest his feelings of loss in many
challenging ways. It might be necessary for the
foster parent to be an active participant andl- .
vocate for the child in school or participate in fami
ly counseling. For children with special medical
needs, it might 'require special training. The needs
of these children are many.
Monthly informational meetings on foster care
are held at the Department of Social Services. For
dates and times, please call the Homefinding Unit
at 683-3500. If you believe that you can provide
care for any of the '.'special needs children", there
, will be immediate fallow-up as this is the area of
greatest need.
