Arden Shore knows that stable, permanent homes are foundational for children’s present and future well-being. When children have what they need to reach their full potential, they become thriving adults and contribute to our communities in meaningful ways.
Arden Shore makes sure children can recover and rebuild from abuse or neglect by working closely with foster parents to provide a nurturing home and stable environment. We do things like assessing the child’s physical and emotional needs before placement, working with the biological parents when possible, and regularly checking in on the foster parents and siblings.

Requirements to become a foster parent
You must meet minimum requirements to provide foster care for children in Illinois. To become a foster parent, you must:
- Be at least 21 years old
- Attend foster parent orientation
- Pass a background check
- Finish 30 hours of foster parent training
- Complete the Home Study
- Provide at least three references
- Clear a physical exam
- Maintain financial stability
Foster families must be able to provide a safe and comfortable home for a child. You must provide room for the child to have a bed and enough space for personal belongings.
Foster parents do not need to be married or have a partner. However, if married, couples must show a stable marriage of at least one year before they can foster a child in Illinois.
Foster parents need to meet a child's basic care needs, such as providing meals and clothing. Foster families must also support a foster child's education and assist them in developing social skills.
Contact the DCFS or a local licensed child-placing agency to learn more or begin the fostering approval process.

The only person I will ever I highly recommend from this place is Safiya Barnett. She goes above and beyond for not just for the children but for the right parent when it comes to getting the kids home.

my 2 grandchildren ( 6 yrs and 2 months) were taken under police force from our home , despite there being no evidence of harm, abuse or want of affection. this was 2 years ago and they still have not been returned to us, this being my daughter, their mother, and myself ( 75 year old male). fortunately they were placed with their grandmother. all this despite there being no court order or warrant ever being issued. pleas read the attached article to be aware of the effects of such violent and ill considered actions.
