Fostering Idaho exists to build a community of well-educated, trained and supported foster parents, foster families, respite foster carers, and other resources for foster children in Idaho.
Foster parents provide safe, loving, temporary care for children whose parents cannot safely meet their needs. The majority of children or youth who cannot be safely reunified with their parents/guardian will achieve permanency through their relative, kinship family, or foster parent.
A current licensed or approved foster parent can be a great resource for prospective parents. If you have additional questions, you may want to talk with a resource peer mentor. Check with your regional Child and Family Services office for contact information or contact the Idaho Child Welfare Research and Training Center .
