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.

Foster Children
Alice, age 7, is a new foster
child, placed by Childrens'
Services Division after her
father and mother separated
and her mother found herself
unable to care for all six
children in the family. Alice
came to her new foster home
with only the clothe* on her
back and one extra *et of
outer clothing in a paper bag.
Her shoes are worn out and
she has no coat.
This is an example of the
kind* of problem* foster
parents encounter when tak
ing in a new child. Although
Alice is not a real child, there
are many such "Alice's"
encountered in the course oi
a year. Childrens' Services
Division provide* a clothing
allowan<. to foster children,
but it is in allowance which
will maintain an already
adequate stock of clothing,
not initiate one.
Kathy -iuffaker. a foster
mother herself, has volun-
terred to operate a clothing
closet for foster children, and
will be avai'able to distribute
clothing to - hildren who need
it. If you lave clothing to
donate to this program.
Kathy will be glad to pick the
item* up or iccept them at
her house, l athy can be
reached at 889 8020. 61 S.W.
4th St.. Ontar o. It is hoped
that the cloth.ng closet will
be able to supply some of the
needs of foster children for
outer dpthing such a* dres
ses. pants, coats, and the
like. In that way, the clothing
allowance paid by Childrens'
Services could be used for
undergarments and shoe*.
