Les Petter 'Purses • Luggage • Gift Certificates Les Petter Shoes Lucknow 528-2011 • Foster parents wanted: longhmrs,hanlwork, greatrewards. Being a foster parent is a tough job. It's full-time. Twenty-four hours a day. Often frustrating, and always demanding of your patience, energy and love. Yet despite its demands, or maybe because of them, thousands of people take foster children into their homes each year. Some are children,_some are teenagers. Some have special physical or emotional needs. But all have one thing in common. They need a sense of place and security to help them through a difficult. period in their lives, and to prepare them for reuniting with their families. There's a very basic joy in sharing with a child or young person some of the richness that life has given you. • . As p rt of a team of social workers and other.professionals, you'll be helping foster children and their parents when they need help most And helping yourself at the same time, to mature and grow as an individual. if you'd like to learn more about becoming a foster parent, contact your local Children's Aid Society or Family and Children's Services. • . It's not an easy task. Few jobs demand more of a person. But fewer still give more in return. Ministry of Community and Social Services Ontario
