All God's Children international, Inc
AGCI is an agency dedicated to intervening for the 8 million orphans living in institutions. We believe that every child deserves to have hope and be loved—and we’re following God’s call to create real, lasting change for His children! We’re committed to changing the system by elevating the standard of adoption and orphan care and creating more pathways to family. When you adopt a child, you are forever changing his or her life in the best way possible.
OUR MISSION
All God’s Children International is an orphan care ministry answering God’s call to provide the love and care that every child deserves.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to empower local leaders to intervene for the millions of children currently living in institutions and create more paths to faith, family, and independence.
OUR WHY
As a faith-based organization, it is our prayer that God’s calling to care for His children inspires the Body of Christ to come alongside us in this transformational work. Jesus showed us the perfect example of healing first by connecting with people, empowering us with the Holy Spirit, and always correcting in love. All God’s Children International is motivated by our faith to be a part of the bigger story of hope and restoration that God is weaving together.

Requirements to become a foster parent
The DHS assists foster families with placement and ensures the child adjusts well to their new environment. Whether you have years of parenting experience or are relatively new to the idea, they have many support options for families. You can find plenty of information on the DHS/DFCS website or call them for more assistance.
Your local licensed child placement agency also places children in the foster system with carefully matched parents. Although foster care is temporary, it's crucial to find the right fit. That's why parents get a say in age range and gender.
There are also many state support groups for foster families that provide educational resources, services, and more. Connecting with these organizations and adding to your personal support network will be invaluable.
One of the best ways to become a better parent, whether you plan on fostering a child short-term or adopting, is to read as much as you can about Georgia's foster system. For instance, recently proposed bills would help to streamline parts of the state's foster care placement system.
You can find plenty of information available online for free as well. Blogs, podcasts, and videos are all incredibly useful ways to obtain new information about fostering.
