Foster Report

Okay kiddo, a foster report is a document that talks about how a child who can’t live with their own family is doing. Think about it like a report card for a kid who doesn’t live with their mom and dad.

The foster report tells everyone who helps take care of the child, like their social worker, their new family, and the judge in charge of their case, how the kid is feeling and what they’re up to.

The report talks about things like if the child is happy and healthy, if they are doing well in school, and if they are getting along with their new family.

It’s important to have a foster report so that everyone who is helping out can make sure that the child is doing okay and getting the help they need to grow up happy and healthy.
