Why Should You Become A Foster Parent With Families First of Florida?

There are many people out there that have toiled over the idea of becoming a foster parent. You feel like you may have something positive to offer to a child in your community. People like you and I become foster parents every week for several different reasons. Do some of the reason below sound like you?

 

1. I want to make an impact on the community. Maybe you have been thinking about doing something positive to impact your community. Taking in a foster child can be a great temporary solution to helping a child that needs you.

2. You feel like you are not done raising children. Maybe you are an empty nester and you have already raised your children. Fostering is a great way to fill the empty nester void in your home. Fostering a child can provide you with an opportunity to help raise another child.

3. I don’t have children, or I am unable to have children. Fostering for a person who does not have children can be a great experience. Maybe you have always wanted children, and for several reasons you were unable to. Fostering can give you the opportunity to have a child in your home without having to make a long-term commitment.

4. I feel a need to help teenagers. There are some people who feel like they can be positive influences in the lives of a teenager. Maybe you want to be a mentor to a child on an on-going basis, fostering is the perfect way to have a huge amount of influence on a teen.
