How to become a foster parent
by PD
Local children and youth of all ages in Sonoma County need safe, loving foster homes. Both couples and single people may become foster parents. Renters are also welcome and two children often may share a bedroom.
A monthly stipend is paid for each child, and medical and dental coverage are provided. Training and support are also provided.
