I've been wanting to sit down with a FOSTER CARE CASE WORKER for a long time now and when I met Janna, I knew she was exactly the CASE WORKER I was looking for! Janna is a former FOSTER CARE CASE WORKER who I met through my good friend, Melinda.
Janna has an amazing heart for FOSTER CARE, FOSTER CHILDREN, and their parents. You can easily see that in this vlog.

Extra special thanks to Janna and Melinda!

We are the Black Family! We went from zero to five kids overnight through the miracle of adoption and foster care. We are learning to be a family together and want to inspire and encourage others to get involved in their state's foster program. We take lots of adventures together but...let's face it...parenting 5 kids is an adventure all on it's own!!

We had tons of questions about the role of a caseworker when we first started. Hopefully this video will help answers some of those questions. What questions do YOU have, make sure to leave them below?

@feefeema7563 2 года назад

This is a helpful video. As a Foster care caseworker I do think it's important for the Foster parent to know the role of the caseworker and that they are on the same page. What is frustrating is when Foster parents that really want to adopt are using Foster care as it means to make that happen because we do have to go through the process of working towards reunification and family Placement. Also it is a challenging job because we have to analyze the information and we have to work within the law and within particular time frames. This is a full video

Hi Feefeema75, thank you so much for being a foster care caseworker. Yes, that would be very frustrating when the foster parents want to adopt and their goal is to adopt and not work to reunification. I know in our situation we desired to adopted but also knew the end goal was reunification. It was hard but we set our heart and mind to think reunification. I know my heart would just break when I would sit in court and think of what some of the biological parents were going through. So we made it our goal to get as much help and work with each child and biological family as much as possible to help them succeed. We never knew exactly how long each child was going to be with us so we scheduled doctor appointments, eye appointment, dentist appointments, and got them the correct resources for schooling as soon as possible. It seem most the foster kiddos we had were lacking in those areas. My favorite one I will never forget is a little girl we fostered, who was also non-verbal, we figured out right away was struggling seeing. To see her face when she put on those glasses for the first time and could now see good was priceless. You definitely have a very challenging job and we commend you for what you are doing for those kiddos and biological parents. 👏🙌. Thank you and thank you for sharing!🤗❤️

@@Zero2FiveFamily you sound like the Foster parents we look for. This feel is not easy. Is emotional, it's time consuming and you don't know what will happen until the final final h hearing. If we all can say we did the best we could for this child and family to include the foster family then it is success no matter if the child goes home, goes to a family member or gets adopted. Cheers to you!

Do caseworkers generally have bachelors or MSW? I’ve heard being a caseworker pays barely livable wages? Is that true?

@Zero2FiveFamily 27 дней назад

@@branver1172 I believe most caseworkers do have a degree. It is definitely not a high paying job and requires a lot of time. It can be very difficult with all the different situations you face.

@breiannawilliams536 3 года назад

If you want to foster are you able to homeschool. For example if a biological child is being homeschooled is it possible to integrate them into that homeschool process or would they need to go to a regular school.

@Zero2FiveFamily 3 года назад

Hi Breianna, what a great question! With fostering each state has different rules/guidelines. In Missouri when we were fostering we were not allowed to home schools them. Now depending on the situation, we know that special conditions can be made if it would be better for the child. While fostering regulations were always changing so it might of already changed here in Missouri. We know a lot changed in the foster structure due to COVID. Feel free to reach out to your local children’s division and they should be able to let you know for sure whether you can homeschool or not. Thanks for the question.🤗❤️

NOT in the state of Florida and foster children must attend preschool.

@kyledawson4535 2 месяца назад

@@zeaafrica8207Hello, I'm not sure how old this comment is but I work for DCF and am unaware of any rules or regulations that say Foster Children must go to PreK. Now I've only been in the field for a year, but I've work multiple diffrent sides of the case. Most Foster kids do go to public school, but I don't think it's required. Would you be able to pull up the state statute or department policy?

@alicemerschen7287 3 года назад

How does it work with the ages of the children who come into your home?

@Zero2FiveFamily 3 года назад

Hi Alice, if I understand your question correctly, when you foster you always have a choice to talk the placement or turndown a placement. They will normally give you as much information as possible but generally don’t have a ton of information if they are new to the foster system. We also told they we want a certain age range on our paper work but that doesn’t mean they won’t call you about other placements. Just remember you can ask questions before saying yes or no. Thanks for commenting, let us know if you have any other questions. 🤗❤️
