Requirements to become a foster parent
Many new parents are worried they'll be on their own if they decide to foster. That's not true; you have tons of support on your side.
You have the Iowa Department of Human Services (DHS). Your local DHS recruits and approves families for fostering and adoption. They also place children with approved parents.
The Iowa Foster & Adoptive Parents Association has handbooks, contact phone numbers, information on training and case plans, useful PDFs for foster parents, and more online.
You also have your local child-placing agency for assistance. They're licensed and approved to train parents and place children in homes. You can find information on how to navigate the legal system or tips for working with birth parents, for example.
Many state non-profits dedicate themselves to assisting foster youth and the families caring for them. They may help with basic care, such as clothing or food, or educate parents on specific topics.

I reached out to family solutions looking for a counselor to see our daughter for a child custody suit.
I was 4 weeks out from court and I was told by our lawyer to have a counselor write a letter to the Judge that it would be in her best interest to not go to the other home unsupervised.
They told us to make an appointment and come see them. We drove 1 hr and 30 min to meet with them. In the interview process I made it very clear why we where there and this would only continue till she got her letter. The councilor told us she would need to see her more than once to make a recommendation.
A week after that and 2 weeks from court I asked her councilor how many more times would we need to come and she tells me "oh we don't write letters for court". I said are you kidding me? Then why are we here? You have waistedmy time not only here but the 3 hr round trips and I don't have anything for our court.
So we left and never returned.
Since then I continue to get a bill in the mail for $301. Maybe I'm wrong here but I'm not sure how I should be responsible to pay for something I was lied to about and did NOTHING for us but cost us money and waist our time.
Until I get an apology and told we don't owe them money this review will remain up.
