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.

I lived here in the early 90s and I was very young I had a sibling that lived here also ! It was a good experience for my life I learned so much along the way of life as a older adult I would love to say with the programs being so small in todays time if you do come into a program like gabch make the most of it and learn as much as you can because outside places like this is the real world and at 46 yrs old I still take the memories from here along the way of life

I lived at gbchfm at palmetto campus for a year and a half. The staff there treat you really badly and their cottages were unclean. I had to worry about mice and rats and bugs on a daily basis. The only thing that made it bearable were the other children
