Social Worker Support

Angels social
workers are the foundation of the intimate services we provide to our
foster families. Angels families regularly develop close personal relationships
with their social workers and credit them with easing the fostering process.
Your social worker will provide help and support in all of the following
areas, and more:
- Prepare for your foster home certification
- Help Angels place the best foster child (or sibling group) with your
family, to meet both your own desires and the needs of the child
- Visit your home periodically to answer your questions and help you
in your wonderful service.
- Accompany you on any doctor visits and maintain records on the health
and progress of your foster child.
- Represent your Angels child in County Juvenile Court and
fight for his/her best interests.
- Be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to address any concerns
you may have.
- Support your family through any difficulties or problems that may
arise. Consult with your family when the Juvenile Court makes its final
placement decision (i.e., decides whether your foster child will be
put up for adoption or returned to his/her birth family).
Support for Adoption
If adoption becomes possible, and you choose
to adopt your foster child, your Angels social worker will help guide you
through the process, protecting your best interests and those of your child..
