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 place is the worst. I lived there for three and a half years
Some staff have been there for years but there are others that our new that will come in from other facilities and treat the kids horribly.

I have had nothing but great experiences with the agency. From the director to the Licensing, Adoption and Foster Care workers have been helpful, supportive and understanding. They have all been there communicating with me via phone, email, text when I have questions or concerns day, night and weekends. I have been licensed as a foster parent for over a year and for a first impression and experience with fostering, this agency has met and exceeded anything I thought and expected it would for my experiences.
