Forever Families Foster Care Program services children between the ages of 0 and 20 who have entered the foster care system typically due to abuse and/or neglect. The needs of the children vary greatly based on their own unique set of circumstances, experiences and level of functioning.
Forever Families seeks foster families who can provide a home for one to five children. In some cases, the child may return to their parents or to a relative after their initial placement in foster care. In other cases, the foster families may care for the children until the child can live independently. Forever Families is seeking families who can establish a bond with their foster child that will last a lifetime.
Forever Families is looking for individuals and families who can share their lives with a child in need of a loving home. Our agency needs homes of all races and cultures to meet the needs of the children we service. We welcome and encourage LGBTQ+ individuals and families to apply. We are in need of homes that will be supportive and affirming to all children, regardless of the child’s sexual orientation, gender identity or expression.

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.

We have been fostering since 2018 and have successfully adopted two times. Although the foster system itself can be a rollercoaster ride, the staff at forever Families are knowledgeable, caring and helpful. They have facilitated positive foster placements that we eventually adopted. We are so thankful to them for helping us complete our forever family.

Forever Families is such a great place, felt supported the whole way from orientation, to paperwork, to our placements and visits. Everyone that works for this agency are passionate about the children and their jobs! Could not have asked for a better place to foster/adopt children!

We have been so happy with our experience fostering through Forever Families! They were helpful and supportive from the beginning when we were going through the process of being licensed. They continue to support us as we work to meet the needs of the children in our care.

I definitely had a good adoption worker Ms. Manessa Carr she went over and beyond to get my sister adoption process completed. As well as Mr Jeremy our foster worker. I’m grateful for this team. I know I gave Ms Manessa headaches at times (just kidding) we did it ☺️☺️
