Being a foster parent is so much more than loving a child in your home. It’s also showing kindness to a family when they need it most.
It’s giving a child a safe place to land during a hard, scary time when they’re away from home. And it’s showing compassion to a parent who is likely overwhelmed, scared, and without a lot of support.
It’s helping a child stay connected to the only home they’ve ever known, in whatever way it’s safe to do so, and cheering on a family that’s living out a comeback story.
At Bethany, our heart beats for family. We want to see families strong, supported, and together. But we know there are times when families face challenges—and children need care.
That’s why we’re seeking foster parents who believe in families too.

Requirements to become a foster parent
Parents can access the Michigan Foster Care Portal (MFCP), which is a tool that helps expedite licensure. The portal can track progress and list the next steps a foster parent needs to take. The MFCP also contains FAQs and helpful guides for parents.
In addition to online tools, foster families also receive some financial support. How much they receive depends on the child's age and needs. Parents may also be entitled to additional reimbursement that covers care costs.
Plus, foster families can access many local and state-wide support organizations and advocacy groups. These groups provide resources, answer questions, and are happy to help form connections between foster parents.
Your foster care agency is always there if you have questions or concerns. Their goal is to ensure the child's well-being and assist parents through the fostering process and beyond.
Another path you might want to consider is co-parenting with the birth parents. The end goal in most foster cases is to reunite a child with their parents or primary caregiver. You'll work with the birth parents anyway to set up visitations, and co-parenting can make your job easier.
Working further with the birth parents can also make the entire fostering process less stressful for a child. They won't feel as if they have to "choose" between homes and families.

Speaking from first hand experience, this company is top notch as it pertains to infant adoption. Our case worker has been professional, the training was exceptional. We've felt that they've handled our case with compassion.

Bethany is a great organization that cares deeply for children. They respect birth parents wishes and provide great training to potential parents.

They steal children from migrant families and charge the government $700 a night for placing them with like-minded fascists. Betsy DeVos' family owns it. They discriminate against anyone who isn't a straight, white evangelical Christian. They're evil.

Do NOT use this agency. They are funneling migrant children separated from their parents into homes and not returning the children to their families. This is not a Christian organization this is child trafficking service.

These people are nothing more than a glorified child trafficking agency and should be shut down. They have bullies working for them that have no experience with children or families. Shame on you and karma will come to full circle.
BTW, the fathers have no rights.
