Riding a bike. Going fishing. Learning to cook spaghetti and meatballs.
These are moments we may take for granted. But for children in Iowa’s foster care system, having an adult to care about the little things makes a big difference.
LSI is a subcontractor for the statewide R.R.T.S. (Recruitment, Retention, Training, and Support) contract that Four Oaks Family Connections manages.
MISSION STATEMENT

Requirements to become a foster parent
Many new parents are worried they'll be on their own if they decide to foster. That's not true; you have tons of support on your side.
You have the Iowa Department of Human Services (DHS). Your local DHS recruits and approves families for fostering and adoption. They also place children with approved parents.
The Iowa Foster & Adoptive Parents Association has handbooks, contact phone numbers, information on training and case plans, useful PDFs for foster parents, and more online.
You also have your local child-placing agency for assistance. They're licensed and approved to train parents and place children in homes. You can find information on how to navigate the legal system or tips for working with birth parents, for example.
Many state non-profits dedicate themselves to assisting foster youth and the families caring for them. They may help with basic care, such as clothing or food, or educate parents on specific topics.

Apparently the central office and dubuque office do not communicate won't be able to be seen here till 2025. Scheduling is difficult and do not expect any sort of reminders in any form.

We are connected to Lutheran services in Dubuque do to oganization of CPS . Lutheran services LSi it's organized to oversee visitations with parents and children so far our experience with them has not been satisfying a few of their staff members have alleged committed crimes and or public health violations and concerns for the safety of our children. I stopped in the office other day to get a book of policy and procedures, the lady behind the counter was having lunch opening up the divider glass before using alcohol sanitary solution on her hands she said it's going to be a minute I said I want to stop back at a later time I called Friday 9 * I cannot get through your hours of operation are standard until 5 p.m. Monday through Friday you cannot leave the message on a machine this is an organization they supposed to be there for people in crisis and they don't follow through with their policies and makeup their own agenda what they see fit for themselves
