[quote=Anonymous]I took PRIDE training to become a foster parent in MoCo last June. The way social workers and foster parents explained it, the kids who are old enough to express their opinions all want reunification. They all want to believe the best of their parents and that their parents can change. Another thing we learned is that most (70 - 75%) of the kids in foster care in MoCo are there because their parents have drug addictions so severe that they're not always good parents. Through monitored programs the parents are given the chance to get clean, and some do. So reunification is possible and its what most kids and most parents want. One of the most surprising things about the class, to me anyway, was just how many of the other people were there to foster a niece, nephew or grandchild, to help out a sibling or a child with a drug problem.
