- Meeting our team
- Once you complete the orientation and decide that you want to become a foster parent, you will be required to attend pre-certification training
Foster Parent Application Process
You will be required to complete a County Foster Parent application. The process will consist of County, FBI and State background checks, and a CPR certification. This approval process will take a minimum of 6 to 8 weeks. During this period, we will schedule an in-home study to ensure you meet the foster care requirements.
Once the above application and qualification processes are complete, you will be ready to receive your Foster child and on your way to making a positive difference in a child’s life.
