Requirements to become a foster parent
There are myths and misconceptions about what you need to qualify as a foster parent.
Foster parent requirements vary by state. Parents must be at least 21 years of age in Arkansas. However, there cannot be more than a 45-year age difference between the child and the parent.
Marriage is not a requirement for fostering. Single individuals may apply.
Every foster parent in Arkansas must:
- Pass a background check
- Have a physical exam
- Complete the Arkansas Home Study
- Complete required training classes
- Pass the home inspection
- Attend face-to-face interviews with a state foster advocate
- Maintain financial stability
In addition, foster homes must have enough room for the foster child. This includes 50 square feet of bedroom space for personal belongings.
Reach out to an Arkansas child-placing representative for additional information.

Can I just say WOW! It's been 13 years since I happened upon this amazing place just by chance. I was very far along in my pregnancy and didn't have a clue what I was gonna do, all I could do was pray. God opened up such an awesome door in my life when he led me to Kandi. I showed up to the pregnancy resource office that day with no plan and no one to turn to, I left knowing that He had sent me an angel! She and Kathy were the most amazing and most understanding women that I had ever met. They held my hand through the entire process. Everything I could have ever asked for, I found in ABBA! I was scared and confused but they gave me courage. They were there for me in so many ways. They guided me with love and acceptance. They made me feel proud instead of ashamed. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my entire life! Words can't begin to describe the gratitude I have for everything they did for me. I am forever changed in such an amazing way because of ABBA and the love that they showed me in such a critical point in my life. Thank you so much for making me realize my worth! You are a God send to so many.

I had to go to some attorneys office so they could record me stating I wanted my mother to have no contact or say so during my adoption process and after it was finalized. I was told I would get pictures for the next three years. I had to grind teeth and nail just to get a response. All in all what's so messed up is my mother whom I was told to have it recorded I wanted no contact between them turn around after the worst ten years of personal he'll and isolation.My mother has a constant with the mother, she has had numerous conversations with my own daughter

Integrity and compassion are two of the most important qualities in an adoption agency, and Abba is the epitome of integrity and compassion. I highly recommend Abba to any and everyone Interested in adoption; both those looking to adopt and those looking for placement.

Abba Adoption is a wonderful faith driven organization! Kandi and her staff are dedicated to helping families grow. I like to say, "With Kandi all things are possible" but she will just remind me that the words are "With Christ". She was most definitely called by God to this ministry and she is humble, thankful, and grateful to serve.
