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.

My wife and I are in the process of becoming foster parents and we found Benchmark at the 2016 Lexington pride festival. We ABSOLUTELY love everyone there. They are so flexible and accommodating to the hours we are available to train, every employee there is extremely friendly and willing to go out of there way to make you comfortable. Kristen and Tiffany are so amazing at teaching and keeping you involved. Angie is so sweet to our daughter who we bring with us to class, she watches movies, and plays with toys while we take our training courses. I am so happy with our choice to go through benchmark.
