Yes it is a foster home for short term emergencies, one of the good things is Foster Parents all have extensive training to be a licensed child care provider, they all have and first aide/CPR and all members of the household (mom,dad, other children, grandparents, even uncle so and so who visits on weekends) are screened for criminal record, and welfare prior involvement which to be perfectly honest is a heck of alot more then anyone could expect from a normal babysitter. With that being said i absolutely feel that it's not the right choice for everyone, I'm really happy to hear your feeling a bit better, and hopefully if the situation arises again you will be able to make a choice that is more suitable for the care of your children. I just want you to know that there is this option for short term care should you be in desperate need. Best of luck!
