It's full-time. Twenty-four hours a and love. Services. day. Often frustrating, and always demanding of your patience, energy Yet despite its demands, or maybe because of them, thousands of people take foster children into their homes each year. Some are children, some are teenagers. Some have special physical or emotional needs. But all have one thing in common. They need a sense of place and security to help them through a difficult period in their lives, and to prepare them for reuniting with their families. There's a very basic joy in sharing with a child or young person some of the richness that life has given you. As part of a team of social workers and other professionals, you'll be helping foster children and their parents when they need help most. And helping yourself at the same time, to mature and grow as an individual. If you'd like to learn more about becoming a foster parent, contact your local Children's Aid Society or Family and Children's a of Canada Ministry of Community and Social Services @Ontario It's not an easy task. Few jobs demand more of a person. But fewer still give more in return. Page 4, Wednesday, May 8, 1985 SRA D TI M0
