In this comprehensive guide, we will take you through the ins and outs of the foster care system, shedding light on its significance and the core principles that drive our agency. At Debra Corn Foster Care, our system is built around families, emphasizing the well-being of every child and the vital foster moments that matter.
What is Foster Care?
Foster care is a temporary living arrangement for children who cannot reside with their birth families due to various circumstances. Debra Corn Foster Care understands the importance of this system and is committed to ensuring the best possible outcomes for every child who enters our care.
Our Approach: Putting Families First
At Debra Corn, our foster care system is built around families. We recognize that family is the cornerstone of a child’s well-being and development. We work diligently to recruit and support foster families who are dedicated to providing stable, loving homes for children in need. Our agency understands that foster care is not just about housing; it’s about creating an environment where children can thrive emotionally, physically, and academically.
The Foster Care Process
Understanding the foster care process is crucial for anyone interested in becoming a foster parent or learning more about how the system operates. At Debra Corn Foster Care, we guide prospective foster parents through the steps involved, which include orientation, application, home study, training, and licensing. We ensure that our foster parents are equipped with the knowledge, resources, and ongoing support they need to provide a safe and nurturing environment for children.
Self-Guided Foster Training
We understand that becoming a foster parent is a significant decision that requires time and flexibility. That’s why we offer self-guided training options to potential foster parents, making the process as seamless as possible while accommodating your unique schedule.
Our self-guided training programs provide access to comprehensive resources, educational materials, and interactive modules that cover essential topics such as child development, trauma-informed care, effective communication, and understanding the foster care system. With the convenience of self-guided training, you can progress at your own pace, review materials as needed, and fit the training into your busy life.

Foster care is a collaborative effort, and at Debra Corn, we recognize the importance of supporting our foster families. We offer a wide range of resources and services to ensure that our foster parents feel empowered and well-prepared.
These include ongoing training opportunities, 24/7 support, respite care options, support groups, and access to community networks. We value our foster families and believe that their well-being is essential to the success of the children in their care.
