The Georgia Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS) and Fox 5 Atlanta partner to sponsor Wednesday’s Child, an award-winning program and a national campaign with a proven track record of success aimed at increasing the number of adoptions of children in foster care. Featured children are usually past the age of eight (8), sibling groups and/or children with special needs who have been in the foster care system for some time and would love to be adopted into a forever family.
The desire and open heart to support children and families are among the most important criteria for becoming a Foster or Adoptive Parent. The ability to act as a positive role model, parent, mentor, and supporter for children, while their families rebuild, is the foundation of Partnership Parenting

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.

Can’t get through to anyone on the phone. I can’t access my benefits without a client ID. The ID was never sent to me. It’s almost impossible to get help. Without my Medicaid determination I won’t have insurance for this month even if I signed up outside of state help.
Update: I finally found my client ID and then the website crashes when I put in the ID. Now I can’t access my account at all. All I need is the Medicaid determination so I can take it to my insurance company to receive coverage.

This is the worst place to deal with. You cannot ever get anyone on the phone, nobody will call you back, doesn't return emails ... You literally are told to call different numbers that end up having the same dial by number directory that just all takes you to the same results at the end, which is to call another number or look at your account on website, which also has wrong information on it so that's no help whatsoever.
