Requirements to become a foster parent
Maine's Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Child and Family Services, is in charge of recruiting and training prospective foster parents. They also place children in supportive homes. As such, you can always turn to your DHSS for help.
You can find educational resources, handbooks, and references on their website. All resource parents must be licensed by the OCFS.
The Maine OCFS has partnered with many child welfare agencies that provide support. A licensed child-placing agency can train new parents and ensure they meet licensure requirements.
Resource parents can also learn about reimbursement for care-related expenses. Examples include safety gates, clothing, school supplies, etc.
Plus, foster families can access information, referrals, peer support groups, mentoring, and respite care.
