50% of foster parents turn in their license within 12 months of fostering. Foster parents report that they didn’t feel supported or equipped for the challenges that they faced. Studies have shown that when foster parents feel supported and equipped, 94% of them remain licensed. This is why we exist, we are building a better life for kids in foster care, by supporting and equipping foster families. The only way to support the children, is to support the families.
