Foster parents are adults of the San Francisco community who have been licensed by FCS to take court-dependent children into their homes. They provide a caring environment while the family follows their case plan for reunification. Foster parents agree to perform all the functions of birth parents while the child is in their care, including meeting the child’s health, school and parental guidance needs. Foster parents maintain a relationship with their children’s child welfare workers and their own licensing workers, maintain their homes to the standards set by the state, and attend training. All basic health and education costs of the child are paid by the foster care system. There is a great need for foster homes in San Francisco. Please call for information or for an invitation to attend a no-obligation orientation.
