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.

There's no reason for it to be so hard to get help from these department. Fire everyone including the machine that answers the call. It's a shame we can't talk too or see anyone in these buildings that the tax payers are paying for.

It's a nightmare. No one picks up any phone. The call just keeps giving you options after option. How is this going to help anyone If you can't speak to a live person.
All I needed was to know where to send the completed documents that were printed out I don't even have a client ID on the paperwork. So I'm mailing my information by registered mail because I'm mailing it in.
I made six phone calls and I had no success I couldn't even get anywhere to help me with the application over the phone. I don't who is running this place but something needs to change. Our county office is closed How is this supposed to help anyone I feel very sorry for the unfortunate

Just like everyone else. I can’t seem to redeem the $350 cash assistance. Idk why they didn’t just send a check. I’ve been trying to call to get someone on the phone to let me know what my dhs client number is. I’ve tried everything and nothing works. They mailed the physical card but I doesn’t let me use it & the online gateway doesn’t work at all ! Just stays frozen. I feel like they did this out of strategy for the election & not to really help people..
