On the surface, it's not difficult to have a mis-
taken impression about foster care.
And if you never take the time to crack the
surface, and find out the facts, you might very well
be denying yourself, and a foster child, a very
rewarding experience.
Your willingness to care may be all the qualifica-
tion you need to be a foster parent. Financial
assistance, guidance and support are available to
foster parents.
The personal rewards of sharing your love with
a child or young person who really needs you
are very great.
Please contact your local Children's Aid Society
or Family and Children's Services, and find out
more about foster care.
The children need you 11ow, more than ever
before. And maybe you need them too.
