HOMES WANTED

The Oregon Youth Authority wants more foster homes in Linn and Benton Counties.  The Authority says if not enough homes are found, kids taken into state custody have to be placed out-of-area–which is not good for them.  They’re not promising you a rose garden…some of the kids needing foster homes are on parole, probation, or in various stages of treatment for serious offenses.  Others are simply taken from natural parents for their safety.  Foster parents do get a monthly check from the state.  They have to pass a criminal background check and the Youth Authority says they should be ’emotionally mature’.  If that doesn’t leave you out, call 541-967-2049 for more information.
