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.

They are stealing and selling peoples information
Sep 28, 2022
I don't know if I'm reviewing the right place but I do see similar reviews so here goes: like others have said, I can't use the $350 cash card because I have all of my snap information come by email so I didn't even get the choice to get it by mail & it's nearly impossible to use virtually! Apple nor Google pay work at walmart and even if it did It won't set up correctly on my phone, even a chat agent wasted my time only to tell me that google pay won't work on IOS devices which is what I had with me at the store and I couldn't set it up with apple pay. It can only possibly be used for online purchases so I'm trying to call and get a physical card but as others have said no answer. I should've known with this governor 🙄 #StaceyAbrams 2022

Y'all need to get it together with this cash assistance card you supposedly sent out! I have tried, tried, and tried some more to login from the link sent in my email and it will not let me! I keep getting this box pop up advising me to login for the first time from the link in the email, which is what I clicked on in the first place! Just send these payments by mail from now on! This is ridiculous!

Can't even get pass the log in to access the dang card. Can't even get anyone on the phone either. What's the point in having a customer service # and there isn't anyone to answer
