Becoming a foster parent can be an amazing experience. It provides an opportunity to make a difference in a child's life while going through a difficult time. If you are thinking about becoming a foster parent, there are some things you should know.

There are two types of foster care: traditional and therapeutic. Standard foster care is for children who need a temporary placement due to abuse, neglect, or other family issues. Restorative foster care is for children with special needs, such as those with medical conditions or behavioral problems.
