If you are:  a family with young or adult children, a family with no children, a single parent, a couple, retired or stay-at-home parent, or both parents working outside the home and have a love for children, you can apply to become a foster parent.

An educational background or experience in a child-related field is an asset, but not a requirement for fostering.
