Becoming emergency foster parents

I am considered an emergency foster parent. From my experience, the big difference between emergency fostering and regular fostering is that you can get calls at any time of the day or night (as you mentioned). In addition, you will probably get a placement sooner. My agency told me they love working with the emergency placement people because they can be more flexible. As for the cases, this could be the children they found in a van in a park to a baby moses case that was dropped off at the local fire station. Of course, it depends on what ages you have been approved for. As far as what they know about the children . . . even with regular fostering they may not know much. Plus, the information they give you could be inaccurate.Welcome to the Fostering World!
