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.

Can never get ahold of anyone at any of the offices. If you can even leave a message they never return it. Bad business

I went up to the office yesterday and the older latina lady and the window helped me soo much. I wish I knew her name. She will be blessed 🙏.

If there was a zero star option I would have chose that one. This place is a joke as stated. NO ONE CALLS YOU BACK if you are lucky enough to get a voicemail that is not full. They will cancel your case and claim no review turned in.

The new system they have there when you can call in and speak to Mrs. Sykes, she is absolutely amazing. She knows what she’s talking about. She’s very thorough. She follows through and she makes the process seamless. I don’t have to leave my house or stay on the line for hours. I can just give her a call and she will follow up. I am very satisfied with her service and professionalism. Mrs. Sykes is the best.

What's a good time to call them, cause they never pick up the phone
