When a county worker calls with a potential placement and if your home is determined to be a good match for the child(ren), one of our staff members will contact you to discuss the placement and disclose any pertinent information that has been obtained on the foster child(ren).  The choice of whether to accept the placement or not is entirely up to you.  The following may be the type of information that we will provide to you:

• Reasons why the child was removed and current assessment
• Medical history of the youth
• Visitations with biological family members
• Counseling or other services the child will need
• School grade and any educational issues
• Any behavioral problems or concerns
• Parental history of the biological family
• Any other pertinent information regarding the child

If the  decision is made to move forward, a pre-placement visit may be arranged or the placement may be immediate.

What Happens Next?

Each child placed in care will receive a complete assessment to aid us in determining his/her needs.  We look at the physical, emotional, educational, social and spiritual needs of the child and our staff develops a case plan according to his/her needs.  The treatment team then works together to achieve the goals of the case plan.  Kids Count Too caseworkers provide support and guidance on a regular basis to both the children and the foster families.  Our staff is very flexible and always available to meet your needs.  Kids Count Too believes that a positive and nurturing environment helps children to grow to their full potential.  By working together with our foster families as a team, we believe that we can provide the services that will enable the children to reach this goal.
