A family home is the best place for a child to live. But some parents cannot provide a safe home and, as a result, the child is placed in foster care. Becoming a foster parent means opening your life to a child or sibling group in foster care to provide them with a safe, nurturing home.
Foster parents provide safe, loving, temporary care for children whose parents cannot safely meet their needs. The majority of children or youth who cannot be safely reunified with their parents/guardian will achieve permanency through their relative, kinship family, or foster parent.
To qualify as a potential foster parent, you must: Fill out an application by calling 2-1-1. Attend an orientation meeting. Complete FIRST, a FREE foster parent educational resource training. Pass a child abuse and fingerprint-based criminal background check. Complete Home Study and Safety Assessment. Complete all licensing requirements.
Once your foster care application and background has been approved, your DHW Licensing Worker will give you the process to access to FIRST(Fostering Idaho Resources & Skills Training) on the Training Portal. FIRST is a 24-hour training for potential foster, kinship, and foster/adoptive parents.
