State Searching for Foster Families in Black Hills Area
PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — The Department of Social Services is searching for people who want to know more about the need for foster families in the Black Hills area.
The agency says when placing a child with a family member isn't a possibility, the department turns to foster families.
Child Protective Services Director Virgena Wieseler says children who enter foster care may have medical or emotional needs. The agency is looking for families who are able to care for those children.
The department says more families are needed in the Black Hills who are willing to keep siblings together. The agency also says families are needed who can take care of children with medical needs and welcome children between ages 10 and 18.
