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.

The worst experience ever I have left multiple voicemails both with case worker and supervisor and her supervisor and guess what voicemail box is full or they don’t respond I use the online portal and no PDF is available I call the state department and they forward me back to the number I have been calling I have called at least 9 times with 2 days apart attempted chat and no pop up appears it has been almost. I have never experienced this type of service. I have my call logs and web history to prove my side and I normally don’t complain because I under Their caseloads are overwhelming but this is just wrong in so many levels when my case was supposed to be expedited. Plus Georgia Gateway is a joke its either not working or wont load.

Trying to resolve my snaps issue…. Renewed and instated to receive benefits but never got the pay out for this month. Can’t get groceries because of this… you’re playing with people’s LIVES. Kept getting switched around between case workers— none of which answer the phone, they give you their supervisor’s #… same deal, no one answers and you can’t even leave a message because ALL OF THE VOICEBOXES ARE FULL. FULL.

To everyone who couldn’t activate your $350 cash assistance(I have been called them for thousand time too, but no even can talk to anyone), just go to health center and ask for help, I went there earlier and now I can use the card at grocery store.

Let me get this straight. Nothing happens when a person submits a complaint regarding a HIPAA violation. So, my question is, what good does it do to even file a complaint if nothing will be done about it? Phoebe Putney Hospital is a HORRIBLE hospital and it will remain that way because NOTHING is ever done about the complaints made against them! They were definitely in violation of HIPAA laws when they gave out information over the phone but, I guess according to you all , that’s ok. There’s so much corruption nowadays, it’s a disgrace to those who have defended our country, to defend our rights to live in this land of the free!If I could give 0 stars I would have!
