Micah and I are looking into becoming protector parents for an organization called Utah Youth Village (UYV); www.youthvillage.org. What does that mean?
Micah and I are attending the training for two weeks (5/5-5/9 and again 5/12-5/15) to become foster parents for children who are having a difficult time living in a group/foster home. Most of the children within this program have been removed from their home for a various reasons and although they were placed in a group home the difficult time they are having requires them to live in a home where they have more one on one time adjusting to life. The ideal situation within this organization is that the parents, family members or guardians can take a year to get their act together and regain custody of the minor – during that time they will spend time in our home.
Micah and I will receive the training to help this children adjust, learn skills for the future and over all give them a home life they may be lacking in their own home before being placed with UYV.
