Requirements to become a foster parent
You must meet minimum requirements to provide foster care for children in Colorado. Foster parents for children and families must:
- Be 21 years of age or older
- Maintain sufficient income to support a family
- Have physical and mental capability to care for children and youth
- Pass a child abuse background and criminal background check
- Work with a treatment team and undergo future training
- Complete a Home Study
Prospective foster families can contact a Colorado child placement agency or your local Department of Human Services. Social workers in these child welfare agencies will provide information about Colorado's child welfare system, foster care, and the adoption process.
Social workers recommended that other adults and children in your home agree to provide long-term home care, too. If everyone is ready to welcome a new child, your local agency will help your home become an approved foster home.

At first, I wasn’t given a lot of work, even when I asked others for it, then my supervisor criticized me for not seeking out work, then when my mom messaged me she was in the hospital and I was given permission to leave early to see if she was all right, I was called the next day and fired.
All in all, people are out for themselves there. It’s pretty good at the bottom, if bad and inconsistent pay, (somewhere between mid-$200 and $400 a month) but management is at best a joke.

Very disappointed with Judy's practices and follow thorough. She made multiple promises that never happened. When asked why, she would talk in circles never answering the question. I was very disappointed with my experience at Dungarvin.
