Become a Foster Parent
Children need a strong and supportive family.
If you're interested in becoming a foster parent, please complete our interest form. A social worker will reach out to learn more about your situation and walk you through next steps.
How it works
The dedicated individuals we rely on to provide foster care are vital to our organization, and we do our best to equip and support them through the entire process.
Screening
Once you’ve expressed interest in becoming a foster parent, a social worker will come to your home to help walk you through the paper work and answer any questions you might have. Our goal is to help you be extremely knowledgeable about the process and to manage expectations you might have. In addition to our in-home visits, we conduct background checks, health screening, and other measures to ensure placement will be successful for everyone involved.
Training
Our pre-approval training is conducted over multiple sessions and covers a wide variety of topics. We'll discuss safety issues, educational needs, child abuse identification and prevention, possible effects of trauma, positive discipline, how to work with the birthparents, and many more.
Placement
We work closely with you to ensure the child placed in your care will thrive within your home environment. After getting to know your family, and any preferences you might have on the age, gender, etc. of the foster child, we can assess the characteristics of children who would succeed in your home.
