Although the majority of foster parents have children of their own, some of our most successful foster parents are still in their twenties and"have 'not started a family "yet. Other good foster parents a°re childless couples. Many want to share the happiness they now enjoy with their own children with a child who has no-one. A "Whole Family" Job. -Fostering is sharing what a whole family can give to that most complex of creations - another human being. It is too, important a commitment to be just a "hobby" for the mother. The father must be involved with the foster child too. If you ) have children, they too must be consulted in a decision Which will affect their day-to-day lives and their co-operation must be enlisted. , A •New Kind or Career. In most fostering, Children's Aid Societies offer- generous board rates, clothing allowances and medical coverage. Beyond this, you have the satisfaction that ,you have contributed infinitely to future generations, through undertaking the responsibility for a child during a time of crisis in that child's life. Your caring now can make all the difference to the kind of person that child grows up to be. Isn't it worth looking. into? Chane The •World - One Child At a Time is what the Children's Aid Society "is., also 0410451sing;, during its County .eelehration ,ofs Children's Aid Wyk. . "This ` may sound like an impossible or naive goal to put before' the • public,' said Mrs. Marion Hindmarsh, Children's Md Society Homefinder, "but when you examine the total needs of children , in the community, and then partialize those -needs, the challenge becomes a little more manageable and realistic. Desp- ite the overall reduction of chi- ldren in care within the province and . locally within the County over the last three years or so, the need for placements for them_ special child of ally age group, and placement resources for the teenager remains a problem. While we have eighty approved foster homes at present, a large number of these are approved for infants and toddlers, and we .are often hard pressed to place older children with particular problems, and particularly the teenager. In placing children in a foster home, every attempt is made to individualize the needs of the child and the resources and strengths of the foster home - otherwise we end up "mismatching" ` the child and the foster home. This can happen when einergency placements have to be made but • we try to eliminate this by use of our receiving home prior to the permanent placements. When, however, we have no choice of placement, :you are only courting the possibility of an unsuccessful placement, and creation of more' problems than what you were faced with as the child carne into care." Mrs. Hix'dmarsh went en to outline some' of the 'realistic situations facing the Society in placing children, and the type of enquiries prospective foster par- ents might present. How Does the Child—Feel 'About It? Most children, when- they come into foster care, feel confused, guilty, rejected - even though their parents did not want to have to separate from them. The situation of being uprooted from a familiar life and placed with str tigers.. can make a child fee( resentful„ worthlessand unwanted by the world. These feelings must be mended esTAnialy as. possihle— so that the boy or girl will not become permanently scarred. Is a Foster Child Different from Yours? The foster child cannot tale off his past like an old coat. H brings his own life-style, his loyalties to his own parents and sometimes to previous foster parents with him. Both you and he may be in for some surprises! The thing to remember is that the boy or girl needs time to grow new loyalties, to become a part of your family., What Are the Main Problems? Getting' used to separation - the home sickness the child feels - his or her resentment of new parents - the envy the foster child may feel for your own children all these things come out in different ways. Some children withdraw and are silent. Some act up. Some are frightened and pretend to "be good." -Many have . never lived in a home .with a father. With the older ehild `there is need for wholesome discussion of sex and family responsibility.° With softie there may be a need to teaeh4,the child to Make friends. There beproblems may p o lean school - but there will be problems! Do You Have To Be Superparents? There are no ` superpar-ents, Our best foster parents seem to be energetic people who are good at sharing responsibility with their own families. They work as a team and don't worry about perfect housekeeping., They are friendly and active in the community. They have a - sense of fair play and a love for children that refuses to give up. They feel secure enough to discuss problems .of their foster children with the social 'worker without feeling that they have failed. They gree able to accept the foster 'child's parents with compassion. Can You "Hang In"? One of the hardest things .about fostering is that often the child must leave ;you, More than half the children taken into care are returned to their o.wn families in under two years. Others become Crown Wards and are available for adoption. Some do not wish to be adopted and need long-term foster care. Your worker will keep you in touch with changes in the child's legal status. Many foster parents adopt "their" children but they must apply like other adopters. For children who need long-term care, . we especially look for committed foster parents who want to "hang in."

We provide the support services money, training courses, seminars,advise on anything from budgets to programs. In the last few years, one of Our new directions has been the task of interpreting to the public the changed picture in adoption. My ministry helps you in this' through its two mass media programs, Today's Child in the press, and the Family Finder on television. We have always tufty backed these two programs, and were delighted when their originator, Helen Allen, joined our staff last Fall. Today's Child and the Family Finder have, now become Government programs." Locally -many children have been placed because of the impact of both these programmes in bringing - adoption °needs before the public.
