General parenting links also apply to foster care, but they're here also to assist you as parents in the day to day care of your children.  It's often been said that parenting is the only "job" that comes without a manual of instructions and that is so true!!
Our task is made even more difficult these days with our "mobile" society.  We often have no family support close by to lend a hand when it's needed, many of us are working parents who need to juggle family and work responsibilites.
Yes it's hard sometimes yet it can be done
and done well. 
If you're visiting here it means you already have an interest in your child's welfare.
I hope you find some of these links helpful.
Search the
Foster Care Links on page one also.
There's lots of helpful info in there.

GENERAL PARENTING SITES
NOTE: I have attempted to bring you a wide range
of sites to visit that are both informative and of good quality. These sites all meet that in some way.  However, I do not necessarily endorse everything or every link in each site.
I have endeavoured to check out all links in the pages to ensure I have not placed anything here that would advocate any harm to children.
I think I have succeeded, if not please
email me.
