At Catholic Charities of Shiawassee and Genesee Counties (CCSGC), we provide help and hope to children awaiting the welcome and support of a foster or adoptive family. Every day, children need safety, stability, routine, and an abundance of love.
With foster care and adoption, many government agencies are involved and CCSGC is here to assist those caring families who open both their hearts and homes to children in need. In the case of adoption, both the biological and adoptive parents need support throughout the process. We answer the call.
Catholic Charities emphasizes the agency’s continuing availability to all parties in the adoption triad, even after the period of agency supervision ends.

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.

This is a great place to receive help if you need anything such as personal needs or clothing, if you have children and visit the clothing closet they can pick toys as well as books. The clothing closet also has bedding, housewares, curtains, and sometimes furniture pieces such as tables, desks, and chairs. They also serve lunch and can point you in the direction of many other excellent places and organizations that will offer assistance if needed. Hope this helps someone who could use it.
