For ppl complaining this is too invasive, if you were struggling and your children were unable to be with you, wouldn’t you want to know they did a serious deep dive on the FP your child has been placed with? As with anything, being realistic, honest and open should get you through. These kids often have experienced a lot of trauma before they’re removed. No need to cause further trauma if they’re in your home. ⭐️

Oof, being from an abusive home myself I feel like I will fail on the first question. But seeing those messy, never black and white situations, both in my home and in homes of friends, and seeing teens actually either run away because of abuse and violence, or being kicked out of the home because of their disability and being "too much work" or because they were LGBTQIA, is one of the core reasons I actually wanna get into foster care, because those are the kids I am most passionate about to help.

I love these videos! My husband and I are planning to start the journey next year to do respite care. We're not in a place to take on having a child around full time but just being able to take a kid in for a weekend or even a month to make them feel cared for and loved and safe is doable and something we're excited about. We've both had experiences with children in care and we've seen really hard cases so to be able to be a support for those that can be full tome foster parents is important to us.

I still find it so weird that people have to go through home studies, interviews, background checks, etc to adopt or foster children, but if you decide to have kids on your own you just go for it.

Right? I’m a nanny, and in order to work I have to be cpr and first aid certified. I remember sitting through my 8 hour course thinking how weird it was that while nannies/daycare workers/teachers, etc. have to be certified, most parents wouldn’t even know infant/child cpr or first aid in an emergency (not saying we shouldn’t be trained and certified because we absolutely should be, but it is kinda funny when you think about it . . .)

Hi dear I love your video. Thank you so very much. I was wondering is there any exam for to be foster parents? Is there any questions from the training 10 session? Is there any fail if you don't memorize the question from the training session? And last Q our English about 40 to 50 percent wich is writhing and reading and speaking do you think is ok to be foster parents? Thank you very much.

Are family and friends interviewed as well as you regarding your ability to care for kids in foster care, and what would happen if anyone said anything negative towards your ability to care for kids what would happen to your application to foster x
@BeTheVillageCommunity
@BeTheVillageCommunity 2 года назад
Great question! So in the home, yes. Anyone over 5 is “interviewed”. And then you get 3 non family references.
@BeTheVillageCommunity
@BeTheVillageCommunity 2 года назад
Not sure what would happen if they said something negative, they’d probably have to ask additional questions to clarify and understand.

In the UK if you have had a previous significant relationship that ended eg you got divorced they have try and speak to that person. For relationship That eneded badly that can mean a negative interview. But in the UK I'm presuming same in US the assessors are very experienced social workers and they can usually read between the lines and if all your other references check out that one negative isn't likely to impact on your assessment.

Kind of random, but is there any generic info or articles/where to find them that you know of concerning the freedom of religion with foster care? I am in a media law class where each week we write about something in regards to the first amendment and this might be something interesting to talk about.

Check your state, county, or agency and they can direct you to it. As usual, it varies depending lol
@psychicdiva4907
@psychicdiva4907 2 года назад
Why don’t you reach out to your local Dfs recruiter and ask them for literature - usually if they are being raised a certain faith when removed, the FP is meant to do their best to allow that to develop, or figure out if there’s another foster family that is the same religion that can help. As a FP you can bring FK in care to church etc but you CANNOT baptize or do any Sacrements. That’s all I was taught.

A huge fear of mine with the interview is having to discuss childhood sexual trauma that I suffered. How in depth would I have to go?
@BeTheVillageCommunity
@BeTheVillageCommunity 2 года назад
That's a great question. Firstly, I think you should bring that up at the beginning when you are inquiring and talking with your agency/county. But for me just answering as a non expert, I would say you can just be open that there was that trauma (I do not foresee them asking for details) and the focus would probably just be more on the steps that were taken to heal and continuously heal/cope with. Objectively, they just wouldn't want a caregivers trauma to end up negatively impacting the children. I hope that helps and definitely reach out to the experts to get more guidance. Much love to you

with me, they where very nice and let me decide how much I told them. they don't force you to say something you don't want to. they do wanna make sure you have let go of that piece from your past enough to not have it be a problem when you come in contact with a child who has been through the same. that's why they will ask how you cope with it and what you did to heal from it
