Become a Foster Parent for a Child with Disabilities

There is a growing need for seasoned families willing to open their hearts and homes to children and teenagers who have been removed from their families.  These children need a loving family who will walk with them during a time of crisis and welcome them unconditionally into a caring home. Children in foster care range in age from infants to teenagers and typically remain in your care for anywhere from a few months to several years.

What does it mean to be a foster parent with Sample Supports?

"Partnering with Sample Supports was a life changing decision for myself and our new family. Sample Supports provides us with the tools and programming to change lives, and together, we have accomplished just that. In just one year they have helped transform two people who up until this point had experienced homelessness, abuse, exploitation and been brushed aside by other agencies. From case management to the behavior services staff, all of the employees on our team live up to the mission statement which is to raise the bar of service. I am forever grateful to this wonderful organization."

Are you a good fit for foster care?

 Many of our foster parents start with little background or experience, but are fully supported through our training and services. The length of placement is on average between 6 months and 2 years. Many of our foster parents are also full-time students, work out of the home, have families of their own or are single providers. This is also a great way to get resume building experience in the social work field and get paid for it!

What Qualities do Foster Parents Need?
Foster parents can be couples or single adults over the age of 21 who are committed to providing a loving home for children and provide them with ample space to grow. Foster parents need to have positive parenting skills, patience, stability, maturity, and a love of children. It is also helpful to know and understand childhood development. Foster parents work with staff from community agencies toward identified goals for the children in their care.
