Health Connect America TFC believes in the importance of a thorough approach when approving homes and in placement of foster children in these homes. The approval process to become a foster parent requires individuals to evaluate themselves throughout training, to demonstrate a willingness to support reunification, and a desire to help children who have suffered trauma, even when this may be challenging. Patience, empathy, and a willingness to learn are important to have when considering foster care. The training and approval process help perspective families learn to work with not only children in foster care, but birth families and the state agencies as well.
