Foster Calgary, A Division of Calgary & District Foster Parents Association

Whether you're a foster parent, caregiver, mentor, or supporter, you make a world of difference in children's lives. We wish you and your loved ones a very Happy New Year!

Here's to spending the holidays with your loved ones and to those extra special little ones you might have in your care. Happy holidays!

We're unplugging over the holidays to recharge with our foster kids, bio kids, and loved ones. Today is our last day at Foster Calgary before the holiday break, and we'll be back on Monday, January 4th, 2021. Please email us at [email protected] with any questions you may have about fostering a child, and we look forward to getting back to you in the new year! Happy holidays to you and yours!

Amid a global pandemic, this holiday season feels different for us all. Our latest blog gives tips and advice to help create a holiday spirit with your family and foster child - by creating new traditions, infusing old traditions where relevant, and celebrating with versatility! http://ow.ly/XK0J50CNEF8

Beginning on your first day as a new foster parent, you will have access to expert social workers and foster care mentors, who will provide individualized support to you and your family. You’re not alone on this journey. http://ow.ly/MdKk50CyVQ2

Q. What could prevent me from fostering? A. If you have had a new life transition, we ask that you wait for a year before beginning the process to foster a child. Examples of the life transitions we consider include: losing a job, receiving a significant health diagnosis, or expecting an additional child through pregnancy or adoption. http://ow.ly/Yqwa50CyVMK
