BATTERY .A. s A L E Governor Bob Straub has proclaimed the week of May 9-15, beginning with Mo ther's Dav as Oregon Foster Parent's Week The purpose of setting aside this week is to recognize foster parents for opening their homes and hearts to children who for some reason cannot live in their own homes. These children are placed in foster care on a temporary basis, often having been deprived of a normal home relation ship involving love, shelter and other needs to which they have a basic right. In Malheur County, there are currently forty homes certified by Children's Ser vices Division for foster care, some of which accept chil dren on an emergency or shelter care basis. At the present time. CSD is respon sible for 41 children in foater home placements. Children for whom care is provided range in age from newborn infants to 2! years. CSD receives custody from the court or voluntary consent of the parent and the agency makes the foster home placement, attempting to select a certified home most appropriately suited to meet the needs of the particular child. Foster care is a temporary situation and the agency generally cannot gua rantee how long a child will remain in the foster home. Foster children are not normally available to the foster parents for adoption Need - Recraltment "Do You Have Room In Your Heart and Home For A Foster Child?" is the title of a pamphlet, available from Children's Service* Division, containing information in regard to becoming a foster parent. There is always the need for warm, competent families to be certified for foster care. CSD needs to have a number of homes available in order to make an appropriate decision in considering a placement which best meet* the needs of the child. The most difficult placements to make are teenagers and children with special prob lems. including handicapped children. Families who can meet the needs of these special children are espe cially needed. Anyone interested in be coming foster parent* should contact Sue Daniel, Foster Home Certification worker in Malheur County, for further information. Children’s Ser vices Division is located at 690 West Idaho Avenue in Ontario and the phone number is 889-9194. News From Big Bend By Goldie Roberts Mr. and Mr*.
