Leaf vein The Oswego County Department of Social Services is seeking families who are interested in a challenging experience—foster parenting. \Our foster parent program is in great need of homes for the temporary care of children,\ said Mrs. Frances Holliday, Supervisor of Homefinding Services for the Department of Social Services. \These children must be separated from their families for a period of time due to a variety of cir- cumstances.\ An informational meeting about foster parenting will be held at the Department of \Social Services Wednesday, September 18, at 7 p.m. Answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about the foster parent program are listed below: Q: What are the qualifications for being a foster parent? A: You must be 21 years of age, in good pnysical and mental health, and have* space in your home to accommodate additional children. A: Do I have to be married? A: No. Single persons, including those widowed or divorced, as well as couples married at least one year are eligible to apply. Q: What kind of children need homes? A: Children from newborn through their teen years are in need, as well as children with special needs due to physical or mental handicaps. Homes which can accommodate sibling groups are also needed. Q: Who is responsible for the child? A: There is a dual responsibility between the Department of Social Services and the foster parent. The Departme©' of Social Services has legal responsibility and provides a monthly room and board stipend, which varies with the child's age or special needs. Additionally, clothing allotments and medical coverage are provided. The foster parent is responsible for the day-to-day care of the child, which means treating the child as a full member of the household. Foster parents also work with the agency caseworker and the child's parents. Q: Do I need a separate room for a child? A: No. Each child needs their own bed and a place to keep personal possessions, such as a dresser or closet space. Q: How long does a child stay? A: There is no set time limit, as each child's circumstances are unique. A stay could be for overnight, or several months or years. It is important to remember that foster care is temporary care. Q: Do I have a choice in the type of child I wish to care for? A: Yes. When a family is certified as a family boarding home, they discuss their preferences as to age, sex, and ability to care for han- dicapped or special needs children. Q: What is certification? A: Certification is the end result of a family's application to become foster parents. The home-study program includes training classes about foster care, caseworker interviews to evaluate motivation and readiness to provide for foster children, medical reports to attest that you are in good health, and other screening mechamisms to assure that applicants are able to provide foster care services. . Q: How can I learn more about becoming a foster parent? A: Come to the informational meeting Wednesday, September 18, at 7 p.m. at the Department of Social Services, Spring Street, Mexico or call Mrs. Holliday at 963-7271. State Fair Sets Record An all-time attendance record, including the largest crowd ever to attend The Fair in one day, were set at the just-concluded 1985 New York State Fair in Syracuse.. A record 793,897 persons at- tended the 11-day event (Aug. 23- Sept. 2). The Fair was expanded to eleven days this year after seven successful years at 10 days. The previous attendance record was 767,585, set in 1983. Additionally, 119,726 fairgoers jammed the grounds on Sunday, September 1, the most ever to visit the Fair in one day, surpassing the 116,797 on Saturday of last year. \Without question the 1985 New York State Fair was an unqualified success,\ Deputy Commissioner of Agriculture and Markets and Fair Director Joseph O'Hara com- mented after the Fair closed its gates. \The public enjoyed the Fair, we saw more families attend and in spite of several days of bad weather, the Fair demonstrated that it is virtually weatherproof,\ he added. Midweek weather was either overcast, cold oi rainy. Weather did improve on the final weekend. O'Hara assumed the additional duties as fair director in late July after Tom Young, fan- director for ten years, resigned. Young is running, for mayor of the city of Syracuse.
