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.

honestly it’s been a few years since i’ve been here , however out of all of the facilities ive been to this one by far was the worst one i went to . IF i ever needed to send a child to a facility it would never be this one . the staff wasn’t as caring or respectful as they should’ve been , yeah we were there for reasons but you’re there to help .. not make it worse . we weren’t criminals lol . i remember i couldn’t WAIT until i came home & would remember telling my guardians to discharge me instead of the facility deciding when i left .. 10/10 don’t recommend .
