[quote=Anonymous]Yes, in MoCo, four years ago. Its a guided process, with 24 hours of classroom instruction in Rockville (8 sessions of 3 hours from 6:30 to 9:30pm on Mondays and Wednesdays for 4 weeks). You will need to have a home study for foster parenting, and there are different types of foster care depending on the needs of the child(ren) and their circumstances. We were foster parents for two years before adopting the toddler we were raising. MoCo offers a lot of support, including from other foster parents in the county. We loved the social worker assigned to us, and remain good friends to this day. I remember that an educational session is offered for anyone living in the county who wants to become a foster parent. In 2013, when we took the training, there were 270 kids in foster care in MoCo. Across this country there are a lot of kids - more than 400,000 - in foster care. [/quote]
