Requirements to become a foster parent
Start by researching the state requirements for new parents. In Kansas, all foster parents must:
- Be 21 years or older
- Maintain financial stability
- Live in a safe and comfortable home
- Pass the home inspection
- Provide enough personal space for a foster child
- Clear a background check (all adults in the house)
- Have a valid driver's license and an insured vehicle
- Finish required foster parent training
- Complete the Home Study Process
Good foster parenting requires your best effort, but not "perfect" parenting. Spend time to learn about the foster care system and the information given to you during training and orientation. Once you have become a licensed foster parent, focus on your foster child's wants, needs, and overall well-being.
To learn more about becoming a foster parent in Kansas, contact your local child-placing agency. These social service agencies are state-approved to match foster children with licensed foster care homes.
Every foster agency provides orientation, where you will receive information about foster care and how to obtain a license. Orientation will help you decide if fostering a child is the right path for you and your family. If you are married or in a relationship, ask yourselves questions before committing to fostering together.
After orientation, your next step is the family assessment process, including the Home Study. A social worker at your local child-placing agency will help you through every step.

I owe these folks so much, they really are too kind!

They do an assortment of things but the only thing I reached out for help for was from Safe Project, and wasn’t helped at all.
I met with the ladies at an event where they shared their resources so I gave them a call about a month later. When I finally did get someone to call me back, they suggested I apply for government assistance rather than helping me. My overall impression was if you’re still in the home of your abuser, they will help, but if you’ve left the abuser and are struggling for funds because you don’t have a job, they won’t help.

Catholic charities does NOT help Sedgwick county residents with rental assistance and other charities need to stop telling people they do.
