Perhaps you have thought about becoming a foster caregiver, but you have many questions. Foster children are like other children in many ways, but they can also be filled with hurt, fear, and mistrust. Foster Parenting is not for everyone. It is a decision that will affect every aspect of your life, and the lives of your family members.

Pathway offers a 53-hour training program to help candidates understand how foster children have been hurt by their troubled backgrounds, and how to help them heal.

"Open Your Home, Open a Child's Life."
