Have you ever thought about opening your heart and your home to a foster child? Each week, children in our Western Illinois area need a safe and loving home. Chaddock is consistently rated as one of the top foster care agencies in the state of Illinois. Foster parents shape lives and in the process experience both the challenges and rewards that come with the task. You don’t need to be perfect to provide a welcoming, safe home for a child - you just need to share the belief that every child deserves a chance and be willing to share your love with those who are truly in great need.

If you are married, single, male, female, young, old, with no children, grown children, children at home, living in town, on the farm, in a big house, or renting an apartment, Chaddock can help you take that next step to become the family a child needs.

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.

I have been dealing with chaddock for 18mos now. It's been a total nightmare and it got alot worse. Recently they took my 3 kids out of my grandfather and his wife's home that should of never been the case. They were loved and safe. Never broke any rules and always dod what chaddock has wanted. Dont these people stop and think this is maybe because these kids tell you the things they do because it's what they want in their lives is to be back home with family and their mother? But instead they question family and practicly call all of us a bunch of liars. This has been hard on the kids and chaddock is a bunch of cold hearted people who dont care about ruining Thanksgiving, Christmas, and upcoming birthday's. I will never understand why these people RIP kids out of homes where they dont need to he ripped out of but there are kids out there who need good homes.

Its funny how you people can take kids on of homes that are happy with what they have, but there are kids in horrible situations that you aren't doing anything about. Some people may not have alot but they're happy with just enough.
