Foster care services in WPHS come in several forms to address the
specific needs of children and the foster parents who care for them.
 

• Family Foster Care
  Treated as family members, these children and teens receive full-time, short- or long-term care.

• Kinship Foster Care
  Relatives, family friends, and those with a significant relationship may be licensed to provide care.

• Respite Care
  Respite care provides a break for birth parents or foster parents from caring for children
  on a scheduled basis.

• Concurrent Foster Care / Pre-Adoption Foster Care
  Foster parents assist and support reunification with the child’s birth family while committing to provide a permanent home for the child if the child cannot return to the parents or other appropriate family.
