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.

I had a very good experience with Forever Family especially with my worker Manessa Carr. She was AWESOME. When I needed to contact Ms.Carr she always, always got back to me that day or even after hours to see what I needed and what she could help me with. She made sure to keep me posted on my case. She is just an excellent worker.
Thank you so much Ms. Carr.

My experience was exceptional. Largely due to the constant unwavering support of Ms. Manessa Carr. She laid out the steps to adoption and walk me through each one. There were highs and lows. The pandemic being a major low. When everything shut down, she maneuvered her way around, and she did it without falter. When all was said and done I felt she lived the Milestones, frustrations, the Jubilation of the adoption with me. Even now, they continue to go above and beyond by affording me a wealth of post adoption resources and support groups. I am forever thankful.

This was the first company to fully explain the process to me and my family when taking in a foster child. Ms Carr was great she took extra time out for reminders and checkups. Our daughter received the best care and support on court visits as well. Overall great adoption agency.

We were assigned Forever Families through DHSS our adoption worker Manessa Carr handled our case with care and made sure everything was done right and super fast. She was so helpful also making sure everything was completed and on track. They did all the paperwork fast and efficient. We would 100% recommend this agency for any adoption proceedings
