Welcome to Ian Forber-Pratt's Website...

Hi all,

Thanks to those who are following the very beginnings of my journey to start Foster Care in Udaipur. My determination continues to grow as this plan develops.

A good friend, Mark Specht was kind enough to let me bounce ideas off of him this Saturday (July 17, 2010) about this business plan. A couple things came to light:

a) I need to be collaborating with a legal mind or organization in Udaipur who could speculate what regulations/ government 'hurdles' etc. I can anticipate.

b) I need a solid lit review that explains the history (in a concise manor) of Foster Care and why it exists. Then I need the most recent information possible on current Foster Care initiatives in India (this I have).

c) Create the frame-work for how my not-for-profit will manage all the case management, training and regulation of foster care while the government funds and sets guidelines.
