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.

They should not assign caseworkers who are afraid of dogs, tó households who have dogs.

They have no clue. Their scheduling for parent visits with children sucks. They make their own rules and wonder why they are in trouble

I got told to be quiet and that they know what's best, not very educational or anything that would make you want to trust some one. . .Telling people to do what you say and be quiet sounds Oppressive and ignorant.

I lived there, last Male out of the boys residential. Staff were amazing, but the CEO was a very misinformed person(Michael Warner).

It's a home for troubled youth. Not the greatest not the worst.
