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 have been stuck in the system for a long time and I'm tired of them thinking they can put me where they want and not care about what I need and want. this is the worse thing Kansas ever made.

If you guys have this many 1star ratings, then you guys gotta recognize your company’s flaws. The case managers do lie to the courts about the parents and the child in care. They make the parent look bad and the child look like they’re doing better in state care than in parental care when in reality they do little to nothing. Your organization leaves children in your care homeless, addicted to drugs, criminals, permanently institutionalized or worse, dead. There is a slim amount of children that aged out of your custody that have gone on to succeed in life. All because you guys wanted money. You can give me some automated generic response to my review but it doesn’t change the hundreds, maybe even thousands, of kids in your care or aged out of your care that you’ve broken and ruined. Say hi to my brother in there that you guys have broken.

Thank you for NOT MAILING me my W2’s on time! Then when I call to ask where they were, I get grouchy Gretchen on the phone!

Discriminated against my disability, and the workers there will lie in court about parents to make them look unfit. They also lie in the court so they can get the extra money by adopting your kids out deliberately.
