  NYAP Foster Parenting

|
The choice to foster a child, youth or sibling group is an important decision in the life of the foster parent and of the youth they foster. At NYAP, we take extra care to place the right kids into the right homes and for the right reasons. We believe that all kids are most successful when they live in a family setting and in the communities they call home until they can be reunited with their own family or with a relative. We work hard to provide you with the special training, resources and support necessary to meet the individual needs of the youth.
  Go ahead! It’s OK to ask questions.
It’s normal for people to have a lot of questions about foster parenting like “How does the whole process work? What if I discover I’m not cut out for it? Will I have to take off work to take the classes?”
We want you to ask questions so you are comfortable with making the important and generous choice to become a foster parent.
We’re here to answer any questions you may have and once you have made your decision, we’ll walk you through the process, step-by-step.
What Does It Take to Become a Foster Parent?
The process and qualifications to become a foster parent vary from state to state. Basically, you need to be able to provide a safe, nurturing and loving home for the youth or group of siblings you foster. You will need to attend training classes that teach you about foster parenting, expectations, working with the family of origin and more.
