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.

This place is a joke, even the old DMV was more productive. Your food stamps need to be renewed? They have 30 days to get back to you. And if they don't get back to you in those 30 days? They just close your case and pretend you never existed.
Everyone in this office needs to be fired.

Staff is very rude and looks judgemental at people. They act as if they can't bare to be bothered. Nothing done is done in a timely manner and they just have going in circles.

Very very rude. They do not care about your situation just their paycheck at the end of the week. Very unprofessional management

Ive called caseworker 3 times and left messages to call me back. I never got call back, then I went up there and asked to speak to her was told she was at lunch. Then I left my number and name for her to call me. I still haven’t received a call from her. I will be going back in the morning to speak with person in charge. If I get nothing accomplished I will be getting channel 2 news involved.

The caseworkers never return your phone call. they are impossible to get a hold of. Every time I go down there I get told something different. They are so unorganized it's frustrating. It doesn't seem like anyone knows what they are doing there. Every week I have to call or go down there due to some issue that takes forever to get resolved. They always have some excuse and always tell me something different. It doesn't seem like they even communicate with each other. They just give you the run around. It's so frustrating and stressful to deal with these people. There's always an issue with my food stamps that takes them months to resolve and I never get what I'm backed owed. It's like they don't even want to help or don't care.
