Not only refugee children and young people from Ukraine, but also from other countries from which they have been forced to flee due to war and great hardship, need a home - temporarily or for a longer period of time. "We are once again increasingly looking for families, single people and civil partnerships to spontaneously take in children aged 0-18 for a limited period of time," says Regina Wißmann-Hähnle, Head of the Foster Children's Service at Ludwigsburg District Office. Children with disabilities are also looking forward to a new home.
In contrast to full-time care, standby care is primarily intended for emergencies. Potential foster parents and individuals are prepared for taking in a child in a multi-stage qualification process. In addition to suitability, there must be a willingness to take in a child without a long period of preparation, to deal with any problems they bring with them and then to part with a foster child who has become dear and familiar.
People who are prepared to give a child a long-term home and to commit themselves as foster parents are also urgently needed.
