Requirements to become a foster parent
You must meet minimum requirements to provide foster care for children in Connecticut. Before you start, educate yourself and reach out to a foster care agency. Social workers recommend that you and other family members in your home feel ready before starting your foster journey. Caring for a foster child takes time, patience, and persistence.
Contact your local licensed child-placing agency or attend an orientation meeting to learn more about what fostering entails. They will inform you about foster parent requirements, common obstacles you might face, and unique challenges among foster children. All foster kids have experienced trauma. Training teaches foster parents how best to help foster children manage their feelings and feel secure.
You must meet minimum state requirements to qualify as a foster care provider in Connecticut. Foster parents must:
- Be 21 years of age or older
- Offer a safe living environment
- Pass a police and FBI background check
- Maintain sufficient income to care for a family
- Complete the 10-week training program
- Provide a separate bed for the foster child
- Complete the Home Study process
- Have a clean driving record (pass a DMV check)
Kids of the same gender in a similar age range may share a bedroom.
Contact the Connecticut Department of Children and Families or a local child-placing agency for additional questions about foster parent requirements.

We did not have a good experience working with this agency, and would not recommend them. We had several issues and wish we had never signed with them. Lesson learned, time and money wasted.

The staff is amazing and sensitive. I could not be happier with the help AFTH gave me

We had an excellent experience working with AFTH in 2015 when we adopted our infant daughter. Great support for the adoptive parents throughout the process, but also for our daughter’s birth mother with skillful and caring social work. True Pros!

Our experience with AFTH in Glastonbury, Ct was wonderful! We came from another agency that we had a bad experience with and we are so happy that we ended up joining the program at AFTH. Everyone was so helpful and kind. We now have an amazing baby girl and when we are ready for another baby, we will definitely go through AFTH again! Love them!

My wife and I worked with this AFTH branch from 2014-2016 when adopting our son. The staff is great, and they're very responsive to email and phone messages--especially welcome when you're waiting for adoption news. Strongly recommend working with them.
