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.

Supposed to be team of professionals that work with and care for the children and foster parents but in reality will NOT help you in anyway!! Basically throwing you to the wolves and into extreme cases. If you know whats best for you. Avoid. Theres plenty other agencies that have family consultants that actually wants to see and help their kids 👎🏽

CCS is truly creative and innovative in their approach to care. They care deeply about every person in their care. The staff is friendly and helpful to all. I have truly enjoyed every interaction I have had with the team at CCS.

By far one of the most ethical, honest, and caring companies I've ever worked with. I come from an ABA clinical field and I have gone through many different positions and companies in my lifetime. I would have to say this company immediately embraced me, provided me flexibility to learn the ropes, and have always had the support I needed from my supervisor and additional staff in the 11 months I have been here, and that has yet to change. The company has an open door policy, meaning they are always open to feedback, and most impressively, they take their performance feedback from others seriously and follow up to make sure concerns are being addressed. If you are willing to speak up, communicate, and love collaborating with others, this is the company for you. They are continually adapting and shifting their standards and protocols-- all for the sake of improving quality services for their foster parents and youth, but also for their employee's. The CEO of this company is also as genuine and down to earth as they get and provides a friendly, but also firm approach with the values of the company and will not hesitate to make the hard decisions for what is best for the company, employee's, and people we serve. This company is great for those who have a heart for serving, but most importantly for those who value growth and seek a company with high-quality values.
