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.

Very poor communication with foster parents... They over paid and sent bills for three different amounts... So when i refused to pay back thier mistake untill they sorted it out... They refused to help foster kids with counseling.. whom they never met... CMH was also very disappointed with thier discrimination against the kids because they were asked to fix thier mess... They also asked adoptive parents to keep the kids away from previous foster parents once they were transitioned... Thank goodness the adoptive parents didnt listen to them.. and the kids still got to see foster parents whom the lived with for 2 years.... They have no compassion. And are very petty
