Concurrent Caregiver
Concurrent caregivers are foster parents and
prospective adoptive parents at the same time.
Concurrent caregivers provide love, and ongoing
care to children who are not able to live with their
birth families. These are children whom the court
may legally free for adoption.
Children in this program are foster children at
the time of placement. Concurrent caregivers
will be asked to cooperate with the reunification
plan which may include visits between the birthp
parents and the child. These may take place
either in or out of the home. If reunification with the
birth family does not occur, concurrent caregivers
may then pursue adoption.
