1. Educational Resources Only

All digital products, guides, planners, and tools offered by Empowered Foster Parent are educational resources designed to support foster parents, caregivers, and educators. They are based on lived experience and research but do not constitute:

• Legal advice: We are not attorneys. Always consult with a qualified family law attorney for legal matters related to foster care, custody, or court proceedings.
• Medical advice: We are not medical professionals. Always consult with a licensed physician, therapist, or healthcare provider for medical concerns.
• Therapeutic advice: We are not licensed therapists. Our trauma-informed resources are educational tools, not clinical interventions.

2. Foster Care Laws Vary by State

Foster care regulations, policies, and procedures differ significantly by state and county. While our resources are designed to be broadly applicable, you must:

• Verify all information with your local child welfare agency
• Comply with your state's specific foster care requirements
• Consult with your caseworker or licensing worker for guidance

Empowered Foster Parent is based in Wisconsin, and some resources may reflect Wisconsin-specific practices.

3. No Guarantees or Warranties

We make no representations or warranties regarding:

• The accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of our resources

• The suitability of our materials for your specific situation

4. Respite Care Services

Our respite care services are licensed by the State of Wisconsin Department of Health Services. Respite care:

• Is subject to availability and approval
• Requires proper authorization from your agency or program
• Is not guaranteed to be accepted for every child or family

Respite care inquiries do not guarantee placement. We reserve the right to decline respite requests based on capacity, licensing restrictions, or child safety considerations.
