Guiding Principles

Children and Families

  • The welfare of the children who need our help comes first.
    • Children need to maintain connections with their birth families and cultures even when they cannot be safely raised in their birth families.
    • Openness and honesty is healthy for children and families.
    • The ability to be a good parent does not depend upon wealth, race, religion, marital status, sexual orientation, gender expression, or gender identity.
    • Education, support, and guidance from qualified professionals before, during and after placement help children and their families succeed.

Requirements to become a foster parent

Because there aren't enough foster parents in the District of Columbia, many foster kids end up living in nearby Maryland. However, D.C. has its own minimum requirements for licensing foster parents. Parents for District foster children need must:

  • Be at least 21 years old
  • Prove financial resources to support a child
  • Rent or own a home
  • Show you are healthy enough to care for a child
  • Provide enough space in the house for each foster child
  • Complete 30 hours of training
  • Pass a Home Study

There is no minimum parenting experience required. Foster parents in the District of Columbia can be single or married, with or without biological children at home. In fact, licensed homes are often a mix of biological and foster or adopted children.

You can work outside the home or be a stay-at-home parent. To help offset the costs of childcare, foster families receive assistance for every foster child in the home.
