Care 4 All Children Services, Inc.
Care4All Children Services, Inc. is licensed by the State of Georgia through the Department of Human Services – Office of Regulatory Child Care (DHS – ORCC) to provide placements and social services to children in foster care. The agency contracts with the Office of Provider Management (OPM) and partners with the Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS). Care4All Children Services recruits, trains, and recommends families to OPM for approval to obtain a license to foster children in their homes. Once a home is licensed and children are placed for care, Care4All provides follow-up social services to meet the children's and parents' basic needs. As a Therapeutic Foster Care Agency, Care4All requires more training for parents initially and ongoing. The agency also provides more support for children and caregivers. Treatment foster care is preferred over residential or group home care because it maintains children in family settings, reducing incidences of trauma. Care4All’s intensive foster parent training includes crisis management and emergency response to ensure the safety and security of children.

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.
