Parents who open their hearts and homes to a child in foster care are making a beautiful commitment that will last forever. Although it is an important decision that requires considerable thought and discussion, adoption is a wonderful and special way to grow a family. It is important to practice patience during the life-changing journey of adopting a child. Preparation is key.
The road to adoption includes the following steps:
Background check;
A home study -- where a counselor visits with all family members to get an understanding of parenting styles, reasons for choosing adoption and other relevant factors;
The attendance of a 30-hour Model Approach to Partnerships in Parenting (M.A.P.P.) training. In most cases, the times to attend these classes are flexible!

Requirements to become a foster parent
Many adults are eligible to become foster parents in their state but do not always realize it. Each state in the U.S. has regulations and requirements for licensing foster parents. Florida does not require parents to own a large home or quit their jobs and become stay-at-home parents. Florida foster parents must:
- Be 21 years of age or older
- Prove good health and ability to care for a child
- Maintain a stable income
- Pass a background screening
- Finish 30 hours of foster parent training
- Complete a Home Study
The required training course is free to aspiring foster parents. It helps parents learn how to foster children and become licensed to provide foster care in Florida.
