Children's Choice of Delaware, Inc.
At Children’s Choice, we bring together a dedicated, highly trained staff with a faith-based philosophy to support individuals and families who want to open their homes and their hearts to foster children. Being a foster parent requires both incredible commitment and compassion and Children’s Choice is here to support foster parents every step of the way. Our decades of experience and “can do” attitude form the foundation for changing lives – yours and theirs.
Children are simply unable to care for their own needs. They require and deserve the support, knowledge, love, and nurturing care that only a family can provide. A child needs this care to grow and mature as a healthy person; to thrive.

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.
