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.

As the executive director of an adoption agency myself, I can say with confidence that Nightlight is an ethical and trustworthy adoption agency. I would not hesitate to refer to them if necessary.

Nightlight is a wonderful adoption agency. It’s amazing that precious snowflake babies get the chance at life through embryo adoption. Nightlight walked our family through our embryo adoption journey and were incredibly helpful and informative. The adoption journey can be scary, but it was so comforting to work with a team that knows what they’re doing.
