Requirements to become a foster parent
Children in foster care go through incredibly stressful situations. When child welfare has to remove them from their homes, the kids face uncertainty. One of the first questions is wondering where they will live.
To become a foster care parent in Delaware, you must follow a series of steps. First, you need to contact an agency.
Then, you must attend an information session and fill out an application. After that, you will need to complete training and undergo a home assessment. Finally, once you complete all these steps, you will earn certification as a foster care parent.
In Delaware, foster parents must:
- Be age 21 or older
- Prove financial stability
- Complete the required training course
- Pass a criminal background check and fingerprint screening
- Complete the Home Study
- Provide a spare bedroom (for children of one gender)
- Confirm the parent's good health
- Live in a safe environment
If you meet the requirements, contact your local foster agency or department of human services. They can help you and other family members enroll in foster orientation.

I love the open adoption.
Mar 16, 2014
We started our family over five years ago through an open adoption with AFTH's Trolley Square office, and that experience was so incredibly fulfilling that we're back again working with the same office on our second adoption. All of the social workers that we've had the pleasure of working with have been so supportive, informative, and hard-working. Our current social worker, Amanda, has been everything we could have hoped for...a teacher, a coach, and a guide helping us to grow our family. We wouldn't be were we are today if it weren't for AFTH!

We adore our social worker Danielle. She has been so good to us from the moment we met her, the day we first met our sweet baby incidentally, and every day since. She has been wonderful at gently guiding us through the roller coaster ride of emotions that an adoption journey can bring. Throughout the thrill, joy, fear, ups, downs, panic and excitement she has been a consistent calming presence and we are so grateful.
