All children in foster care have been exposed to some form of trauma. The very act of being put in foster care is traumatic for children, because it means the loss of their birth family and often friends, schoolmates, teachers, and everything that is familiar.
The need for foster homes is increasing every day in Idaho. There were 2,714 children living in foster care in Idaho during the state fiscal year of 2017. During this time Idaho had only 1,104 Licensed Foster Homes. (Familyrtc.org)
