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.

Went in for an interview that went well but was not told about the internal underqualified candidate.
Interviewer (coordinator) told me sometimes refugees are "annoying" glad I didn't get the job here these people don't care about refugees if that's how they speak of them

It's impossible that this company is in business. You can't call and talk to a live person. I've been calling for a whole week and no answer. I feel bad for the children in care under this company!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👎👎👎

Love my trainer Samantha Chillious. She relatable and explains everything in detail to Fostering and adopting families.

I don’t believe that you can start a journey towards adoption without a great support system and team. Samantha Chillious has become all that I could pray for in a case worker. You can tell that she cares about what she does and dedicates her time to make sure that she is available to answer all of the many questions that you will have. This journey is just staring for me; however, I am happy to know that I have Samantha to lean on while I travel towards creating a forever home for my forever family.
