Requirements to become a foster parent
Many do not realize the need for new resource families in California. The number of foster kids outnumber the foster families who can provide short or long-term care. Foster advocates work hard to find places for these children, but it is not easy.
The latest 2021 report from the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS) report in California says there are:
- 47,871 kids in California's foster care system
- 22,892 who entered foster care
- 15,386 foster kids awaiting adoption
- California foster kids across all ages, with a median of 8 years
- 33% whose foster child case plans include adoption
A child's median time in the California foster care system is over a year at 16.8 months. 13% spend 3-4 years in foster care.
California needs foster parents to take in multiple children if they have the time and energy to care for them. Sibling groups often need care, and it is essential to support these family bonds. In California, it is challenging to find homes for teenagers, though they need stable environments and reliable adults to support them.

I recently retired from teaching after 23 years. I knew I would miss being with kids. I decided to investigate fostering young children. Our first encounter was a meeting with Mina. What a knowledgeable and informative meeting we had! We started the process and a little over a year later, we were certified. Numerous calls to Victor in the office helped clarify questions, even if I thought they were “dumb” questions, he understood my concern and was (and still is) a wealth of knowledge. Our social worker, Cathya, is unbelievable! She is a caring and understanding person. Being a newbie foster parent, I can call on her with even the smallest concerns. We have 2 wonderful foster daughters, 8 years old and 3 weeks old. They are such a joy and thank Building Bridges for this awesome adventure. I am truly grateful and I hope many more people can choose to become foster parents to help the many children in need.
