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.

Never around when you need them. Can't get a hold of anyone. Scheduled exchanges via Outlook, email, in person and over the phone. They fail to show up and they get paid for these.

The man that works at a desk and sometimes is there during parent child visits is way too serious and too much of a stickler for the rules. He needs to let kids be kids and let parents enjoy their children while they are there together. He needs to lighten up and not make parent visiting time so uncomfortable when in his presence but the lady there is very nice and easy going so that helps The Experience be the way it should with be enjoying your children. The lady makes us feel at ease and comfortable. All in all the building is nice and it's an ok place but not the best they could be doing.
