The rewards are worth the struggles. I can't imagine not being a foster parent.

Both of you will complete and submit a questionnaire.

CCR is required to conduct a Structured Analysis Family Evaluation (SAFE) home study. The process is very personal and will require you to share information about yourself and your childhood, adolescent, and adult experiences. All information gathered is confidential.
Please answer the following questions as they apply to you. Some questions may have multiple answers; please check all choices that apply.
You may add additional comments on the form. You will have an opportunity to discuss your responses during your home visits.
