Foster Parenting 101

Becoming a foster parent is a rewarding experience that can have a profound impact on the lives of vulnerable children. Although the process of becoming a foster parent can vary from state to state, there are some basic steps that are typically involved.

First, potential foster parents must complete a home study, which assesses their suitability to provide care for children.

Next, they must attend training to learn about the unique needs of foster children. Once they have met all the requirements, they will be officially licensed as foster parents and can begin welcoming children into their home.

Although the process of becoming a foster parent may seem daunting at first, it is an incredibly rewarding experience that can make a lasting difference in the lives of children. I created this blog to share my experiences and help you along your journey of becoming – and thriving as – a foster parent.
