Our promise to you! Our team will answer your questions, be there to support you, offer you understanding and listen to you. We will do our best to instruct, educate anyone who wants to learn in the workings of CPS. However, do not expect to learn everything you need to know overnight;
"It takes time to be an overnight success"; 

 Our warning follows; there is more to this picture than the trainings are offering. The reality is that you are going to be experiencing things that you are simply not prepared for.
• The children that they will place in your home have backgrounds that you will not be made aware of. 

•  1.  Emotional/medical behaviors that you will not be informed of.  
•  2. Sexual/physical abuse in their backgrounds. 
•  3. Self mutilations.  
• 4. Fire starters
• 5. Sexual predators who have a police record  
• 6. Some have been diagnosed  with6.Some have medical/mental disorders like; ADD, ADHD, FAS, PTSD, and the list goes on. Children with any of these disorders are often on medications.

These are just a few items we can list, things you will not be told taught in your training classes. You will not be informed about "allegations", or the importance of documentation. They may mention these things in passing but they do not teach you the proper way to document, or what an allegation will mean to you and your family.

        We urge you to continue your education at nfpcar.org.

We see agencies and the Associations pleading for foster parents, have you seen/heard advertisements s on television, billboards, or on the radio? Instead of allowing foster parents to wake up one day and find themselves in the middle of a hurricane, wondering what to do, who to turn to, or better asking themselves why no one was honest enough to warn them?
