Navigating the System
It can be overwhelming to try and navigate the complex world of the juvenile court system. As foster parents, you have to be able to work within that system, but to do that effectively you may need a little help finding your way through--knowing what the expectations are, finding out who to contact when there are problems, and understanding what laws guide the process. We hope the resources here will be a good starting point for you as you work to be an informed and passionate advocate for the kids in your care.
