child foster care (Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale: relocating, crime, agent)

[mimichamp]

I am thinking of relocating to az. I currently do foster care in Mn and would like to do the same in Az. Do you know that their is a need for this here? What is the Foster care system like in Az? Also if you could tell me were is a good place in Az to raise kids.

Foster care is always in huge need everywhere...including AZ. Anywhere you live you will find CPS agents looking for qualified foster parents. Bless you in your endeavors!

As to where to raise kids...that would depend on your lifestyle. The larger cities typically have more crime but kids can find fun and good lifestyles anywhere, just as easily as they can find trouble if they are looking for it. I prefer mid-sized towns, like the Prescott area...but many folks like the Valley (Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale, etc). Good luck to you!
