Becoming emergency foster parents

Emergency Foster Parents are on-call 24/7 for new placements. You may very well get a call during business hours from your certifier, or you may get a call from the after-hours intake worker. I have received calls at all hours of the day and night. One call was from an in-take worker who knew where I lived and he called at 11:30 PM from only 6 blocks away, on his way to my home. I hung up just in time to get a robe on and open the door.
