This is a great question. It's amazing how many of the really impressive how many young leaders in foster care today have great mentors. In order to get a higher response, I recommend that you post your question on the message board.

I have 2 great foster kids and there mom resently had another child. I'm told if I don't take the 3 child my 2 foster kids will have to another foster family. Is that correct?? If so what if she has a 4 child? Will they keep making me take children????
Foster parents receive a monthly rate for the care of foster children. The regular foster care rate is provided to children who do not require unusual care and supervision. The foster parents would provide basic physical care, well-balanced meals, maintenance of home, clothing, supervision of child's health and dental care and offer the attention and affection appropriate to the child's age.
Some children may require unusual care and supervision in a foster home. These children may exhibit extraordinary physical, emotional or behavioral issues. These might include physical handicaps, emotional disturbances, severe learning disabilities, etc. Foster parents that receive intermediate rates are required to participate in various treatment plans, trainings, provide prescribed physical care, and other tasks as deemed appropriate.
