What Is Foster Care?

Foster Care is a part of the holistic protective/prevention services provided to families by the Lac La Ronge Indian Band Child & Family Services Agency (ICFS). These services may require the removal of a child/ren from the parental home to ensure his/her physical and emotional safety. While in care, children are placed in Foster Homes in or near their home communities.

Who can become a Foster Family?
Anyone can apply to become a Foster Family:

* Single Parents
* Married Couples
* Common-Law Couples

Foster Families do not need a lot of money or a big house. What is important is that families have room in their lives for another child.
