What is foster care?

Foster care is when an individual, couple or family opens their home and welcomes a child to live with them temporarily. Foster parents are responsible for the care, safety, and nurturance of the child(ren) placed into your home. This includes:

  • day-to-day care such as food, educational and emotional support.
  • practical support as needed such as scheduling doctor appointments, attending meetings and court hearings and being an advocate for the child.
  • transporting them to their appointments, school activities, visits with birth family, etc.

  1. A thorough application
  2. Criminal History, FBI and Child Abuse Checks
  3. Medical physicals
