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.

Well I'm NOT seeing Karen Brazel anymore she seemed to get mad because my Family doctor wrote my prescription, because I couldn't get a ride to LMCS in Fort Oglethorpe. She then got an attitude and wanted to know WHY I HAVE MOVED SO MUCH I explained VOA in Lafayette Georgia is NOT for me and she said well why did you move from the other places I told her I was NOT there for her to question my living arrangements! The only good thing is that I can actually see a counselor there!!! Sara is AWESOME 👌 and I am NOT seeing any doctors at LMCS. My family doctor is writing my prescriptions. LMCS your short staffed and under paid. Trying to get housing to return a call or a text is like pulling teeth impossible!!!

Dealing with LMCS has been an extremely frustrating experience. I went into the office last year in July looking for assistance.
Apparently I "Fell Through The Cracks" as I was told months later.
Here it is 7 - 8 months later and I still am not getting the services I need. I do however receive a lot of excuses.
Thank you Lookout Community Services....
For Nothing.

If I could give no stars I would. Appointments are not entered into the computer so you show up for nothing. This place isn't interested in actually helping people. There are so many things wrong here. Don't give people hope just to ignore them.
