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.

I wish there was an option for zero stars. Access to public assistance is a blessing, but if I’m being honest, it is not some thing that the average person desires to be on. At least not me. It is already challenging enough not being able to have the funds to fully support yourself or your child on your own. The least that these people who work in these offices could do is be kind and helpful. The customer service is atrocious and the manner of these people is extremely disappointing. You can’t even have a simple phone call answered. It is so unfortunate that it is so hard to find decent customer service these days. I hope that one day the staff that comes into this office has at least a bit of kindness, and want to help people in these trying times. We need more good people in this world.

They close mom’s Medicaid every other year, it seems. Just like that- no explanation, no way to reach them, and when they answer, they bring up some random numbers, which are very easy to disprove. Mom’s in 4th stage cancer, and every time it happens, she has to miss her treatments. No one answers the phone, full voicemail often. And people… oh my word!.. I hope they will get the same treatment as they do to others- hardly can find nastier, rotten humans.

Never left a bad review anywhere before because I know everyone has bad days, things happen and there’s only so much people can do but Lawddd have mercy. The staff (on multiple occasions) were so extremely rude. My caseworker would never respond (this is months of calls and requests) I applied in November, got every single bit of proof needed to do so, had it stamped as received and still took three applications and 6 months of waiting. Yep didn’t get approved until MAY.
