Foster parents may all look very different, yet they all share a heart that is prepared to give a child understanding, patience, compassion, empathy, guidance, a strong arm to lean on and a warm embrace when times are tough.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n

\n
We are here to help you become a Specialized Foster Home Parent. If you can provide a loving, safe and stable home for a child, youth or young adult (ages 4-22) with the special needs, you may qualify to become YCS Specialized Foster home Family.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n

Caregivers receive a monthly stipend of up to $1,500 a month to care for their child as well as a clothing allowance, medical coverage and all the necessary therapeutic support services to insure your child gets the best care.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
\n
A foster child–no matter how young or old yearns for a parent’s love, protection and reassurance that everything’s is going to be OK.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
\n
A loving foster parent understands this and has that special ability to see through their child’s pain and challenges. A compassionate foster parent sees their child as a gift with unique strengths and abilities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n
