Being a foster parent is so much more than loving a child in your home. It’s also showing kindness to a family when they need it most.
It’s giving a child a safe place to land during a hard, scary time when they’re away from home.
And it’s showing compassion to a parent who is likely overwhelmed, scared, and without a lot of support.
It’s helping a child stay connected to the only home they’ve ever known, in whatever way it’s safe to do so, and cheering on a family that’s living out a comeback story.
At Bethany, our heart beats for family. We want to see families strong, supported, and together. But we know there are times when families face challenges—and children need care.
That’s why we’re seeking foster parents who believe in families too.

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.

The experience with caseworker was not that good at all. Most days she had an attitude and was rude like they were her children. And had smart mouth regularly. Was not communicating intentionally. Just making things harder than had to be. Foster mother is teaching my grandkids to disrespect and disown their mother. 1 was nipped in face by a dog and nothing was done..Very disappointed as they've changed for the worse as time goes by.

Caseworker keeps catering to mother who has had kids in care most of their little lives. Been waiting for months to get licensed to be able to provide better. Requested guardianship from beginning which if they say so judge can order at anytime. Even though I express concerns of children's behavior issues and returning home too soon I am ignored, like I'm stupid or don't know anything. Everything I bring up I am backed down with excuses. Talking to a supervisor is non-existent. They have since removed children to another foster home and won't even allow me to visit my own grandson. Took the word of a 6 year old who knows how to work the system since she has been in care so long and never once asked me anything and also falsified and trumped up any allegations they could. Turning them into OIG for investigation.
