Seeds That Grow, Inc.
Our mission is to provide homes to children in care that are safe, secure and complete with dedicated and passionate caregivers. We aim to assist every family with dignity and respect without prejudice or discrimination.
Foster care is a temporary service for children who are unable to live with their families. In these unfortunate cases, children are placed with either relatives or non-relatives, called foster parents. Depending on the circumstances, children may also be placed in residential facilities, shelters or independent living programs.
Through our therapeutic program, we seek to offer services that promote the well-being of children and adolescents with medical, emotional or behavioral difficulties, so that they may become self-sufficient, responsible individuals.

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.

Vanessa is the worst at communication. She do not follow up or reply to emails. Think twice about using this company.
