My wife and I are Houseparents for a wonderful Christian Maternity Home and are asking our Director and Board for a salary increase, we would like some help in knowing what is reasonable. Thank You , in advance for your help.

The Child Welfare League of America has a book on Salary ranges for the social work field. I don't know if direct care positions are covered or not but it is worth looking at.
Another helpful tool is the poll on this website. It tells you what others are making and what kind of insurance they are getting. Of course it is not scientific but it is still helpful.

Otherwise I would assume you ask for what you need to pay your bills, take care of yourselves and family and put enough aside for retirement. Good luck.

Thank You for the help, I will check out the sources You mentioned. No, we're definately NOT in this for the money, we left everything and everybody to follow GOD'S calling on our lives. Our executive director simply asked if I could give her some idea of what other organizations are offering. Thank You, and GOD bless.
