All God's Children, Inc.
Foster Parent well-being is our Priority. In 1999 the Mother-Baby Home was opened: A facility that housed, educated, supported, and attempted to rehabilitate these mothers, some as young as 13. One particular 14-year-old was kicked out by her parents because she refused to have her child killed in the womb. She had nowhere else to go.
Shortly after, AGC opened the Daycare as a supporting service.
Ten years later, they started their foster care program. Since the state does not issue a stipend to foster parents for daycare (if they go through a private agency) AGC was able to provide deep discounts to foster families.
Ten years after the foster care program, AGC opened the therapy center, where therapists provide services to foster children, foster families, biological families, and members of the community.

Requirements to become a foster parent
You'll still have support and guidance when you receive a foster placement. Kentucky has continued training and can connect new foster parents with experienced families through the Foster Parent Mentor Program.
Having access to an experienced foster family is invaluable. You'll be able to connect with other adults who have advice and can provide coaching to make your parenting journey easier.
Your local child-placing agency is one of your best sources of information and foster parenting services.
Nonprofit child welfare organizations approved by the state recruit resource parents, provide resources, and offer training and general support. When you attend the informational orientation and parent training, you'll receive books and resources that tell you more about the many available foster parent support groups.
