Foster care

There are several challenges that must be overcome to create safe and healthy environment for a child placed in foster care.  One of the most difficult challenges is the lack of information that travels with the child.  Often times, it requires the coordination and sharing of information between foster parents, social workers, social agencies, birth parents, schools and more.

Foster families have to take on a team approach to raising the child and providing for the child’s needs. A tool like the OurFamilyWizard website can make this coordination easier and more transparent.  The website provides the ability to coordinate the child’s schedules, medical, school and other vital information as well as traceable correspondence and shared journals.

This shared information can travel with the child if they are reunified with their birth parents.  This continuation of the child’s records can help to ensure a smoother transition for the child and all other parties involved.
