The first step is to learn as much as you can about becoming a foster, foster-to-adopt, or a child specific adoptive parent. To get started, fill out the Request for More Information form.
The case worker for your child will send a letter to Women Infants and Children (WIC). All children in foster care age 0-5 are eligible to receive the benefits of WIC. Formula will only be subsidized by the department during the initial 30 days while foster parents are initiating a WIC appointment.
Foster care provides a home to children and youth who are temporarily separated from their families due to abuse, neglect, abandonment, or the death of their caregivers. A safe return to the child (rens) biological home is the primary goal.
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.
