Can dual income families apply to be foster parents?
Yes, dual income families can also foster a child. There are subsidies for infant care, childcare and student care services to support foster families.
In addition, working foster parents caring for foster children enjoy childcare leave benefits for their foster children, just as birth parents do under the Child Development Co-Savings Act and Employment Act.
