Paths to Reunification
The primary goal of foster care is reunification. From the time a child or youth comes into care their social worker, resource parent, Guardian ad Litem, and birth parent should all be working together to help the child or youth return to a safe environment. Of course, there are situations when children and youth cannot be reunified, and different permanency plans are put into place to serve the best interest of the child or youth. While those situations certainly occur, we begin our journey as resource parents with the hope of helping children and youth return home.
