What does Cayuga County look for in a foster parent?

lthough becoming a foster parent can be a process, the agency works closely with potential foster parents in order to learn about their personal life and home life. In  return, the agency staff remains “an open book,” and answers any questions the potential foster parents may have. It is our hope that foster parents will have a caring, nurturing nature, with the ability to care for children, as if they were their own. We also look for people who have the ability to empathize with birth parents, and are willing to help birth parents in working to get their children back into their home.
