Foster
parents

honored TELEPHONE 365-5210

Oct. 21-27 is Foster Family Week
and throughout ‘the country foster
parents and their families are being
honored for their contribution to the
well-being of children in care in their
communities.

“This is our community's oppor-
tunity to thank our foster families for
a job well done,’’ said Chris Hopkins,
foster parent coordinator for the
West Kootenay.

“Being a foster parent is a very
challenging job that requires an
abundance of special qualities such as
patience, understanding, tolerance
and flexibility. It is especially impor-
tant that foster parents be able to view
the children that they care for and
their families without j ad

Hopkins said in a news release.

There are more than 100 children in
care in the West Kootenay and the
majority are placed ith foster
families. Children come into care for
many different reasons. Hopkins said
reasons include ‘‘neglect, physical
and emotional sexual abuse, problems
making it impossible for the parents
to care for the child such as
alcoholism or illness, parents being
unable to manage the child’s
behavior, and being unable to care for
a handicapped child.””

“‘Whatever the reason for their
being in care all children undergo a
process of separation and grieving.
Most frequently they don’t even
realize that they are grieving. Many
are in shock or denial. Foster parents
need to be able to gently help these
children understand and work
through this process,’” Hopkins said.

The healthier the foster home, the
better equipped it will be to deal with
the stress of fostering, she said. To
maintain a healthy balance, Hopkins
believes it is important to work as a
team with all the individuals involved
in the child’s life. This team can in-
clude the foster parents, social
workers, natural parents, teachers,
counsellors and child-care workers.
And with so many players involved,
communication becomes critical, with
the focus of planning on the needs of
the children.

‘One important aspect of fostering
that is often overlooked is the impor-
tant role that the natural children in
the foster family play in helping foster
children. The natural children are
crucial to the success of the foster
placement.

“In reality they’re part of the
‘team,’ a most important part. (They
are often the key to helping children
in care by being role models and peer
counsellors. Their assistance and un-
derstanding of the foster children can
go a long ways in enhancing that
child’s self esteem and feeling of
belonging,’’ Hopkins said.

Potential foster—parents undergo
orientation sessions to introduce
parents to a number of key issues to
consider when deciding whether or
not to take on this challenge. And
because fostering is a profession in
transition one can expect ongoing
training to assist foster parents in
developing the skills needed to care
for children
