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

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.

Destroyed my life. Can't interact with normal every day situations well. I have constant crippling memories of the physical restraint done by 200-300 lbs adults to my 30 lbs 6yo bodie and after the restraint tactics failed I was locked in an concrete room until my body could beg for release no more.

Did nothing for my child. Did not even touch on the issues that got them sent their. Also made my child feel as if being transgender wasn't OK, not with words but with actions. Glad my child is home now. We will continue to try to find real help for them.

Their treatment follows the work of Bruce Perry (The Child Trauma Academy) and it really made a difference in our sons life and ours. But you need to know that kids there are high acuity. This is more of a last resort residential treatment facility. Also they are not too used to direct family involvement. Be sure you advocate for what your child needs and what your family needs. Equine therapy was great.
