This sibling group needs an experienced foster family that is trauma informed. Preference will be given to families that are already licensed as a therapeutic foster home. They would do best in a structured environment. They like to know what to expect. They respond best when they know the routine and have reasonable expectations set for them. Their foster care team is open to homes with a mom and dad or a single mom. The team will not consider families with other children in the home. Their caregiver needs to be patient and calm. They do best in a more calm atmosphere that doesn't involve a lot of over-stimulation. Any prospective family needs to be receptive to continued contact with the biological family. A strong support system with access to resources/services as needed is preferable.
