When we think about foster family, we have to stop thinking about temporary living arrangements for children
 and go back to the original meaning of the term. To foster means to help someone grow into develop, to nourish
 and to care for someone.

 Does we are face today with the great challenge of becoming better prepared to foster children to our homes?
 Orphans are children whose families are considered unfit are placed in foster homes not because there is nothing
 else to do with them, but because this state firmly believes that a structured family is essential for the well
 being of these children. That is why such families are well remunerated and should be well trained, prepared and
 inspected.

 If you are here today because you are foster parent, you know the difficulty is imposed on you by having
 to provide for a child that is not your own, who came to you in need of help, who has been abused, mistreated, humiliated
 or has suffered the terrible loss of loving parents. If you are here today because you want to be a foster parent consider
 all those aspects and make a concious decision. The children that come to you are delicate, they need more than food and
 shelter. They need respect, your afection, your presence and your love. If they stay with you for a day or a life time, you
 have a unique oportunity to develop paternal bone(vínculo paternal), and proximity that can make your household a safe place
 for many young people who really need to feel protected.

Many people think that families become less important to children as they move into the teenage years. But your child needs your family and the support it offers as much as she did when she was younger.

It’s true that family relationships change during adolescence. When your child was young, your role was to nurture and guide him. Now you might be finding that your relationship with your child is becoming more equal.
