Making Choices for Yourself and Your Children
When you’re in foster care, you need information to help you decide if, when, and how to parent. When you become a parent, you need information to help you make good choices for yourself and your children. You need to know about your rights, your responsibilities, and all the resources that are available to you. You need that knowledge after you leave foster care, too.
When you have that knowledge, you can protect your family and keep it together. You can push yourself further in life and you can advocate for your children to achieve more. You can gain skills because you know what resources are available. You can inspire your children, because your children grow up with your knowledge and confidence.
This website was developed in partnership with young parents who also spent time in the foster care system to provide you with information about rights and responsibilities that no one may have ever told you that you have.
