The Manitoba Foster Parents Association, led by executive director Jane Earle, is debunking myths to attract families. Earle, a longtime foster parent, calls fostering a way of life and rejects claims that carers are motivated by money.

Foster parents face stigma and low pay across Manitoba
The Manitoba Foster Parents Association argues foster care pays just 8 to 14 dollars per day per child and covers all expenses while demanding more rights and clearer guidelines. Jane Earle notes one approved foster family per community and stresses matching children with capable homes, despite small towns sharing familiarity with a child’s background. The association contends stigma persists though fostering remains crucial across Manitoba communities.
