Welcome to Fostering Perspectives,
a publication dedicated to making foster care
and adoption in North Carolina the best they can be.
- Foster
and adoptive parents will find it to be a resource and a place to share
information, ideas, frustrations, and joys related to foster care and
adoption.
- Foster
children will find the Kids' Pages, a place where children who
are or have been in foster care express themselves through words and
pictures.
- Social
workers will find Fostering Perspectives important for the way
it gives voice to the concerns of the parents and children they work
with every day.
We
hope you enjoy Fostering Perspectives. If there are things you'd
like to share or you have questions, please get in touch with us!
