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.

Since current CEO started in 2015, the morale and culture of this agency went downhill real fast. Just check out all the poor reviews on Indeed and Glassdoor coming from different people at different points in time, certain validity with what everyone is saying about him.

Very poorly organized and run. Upper level management have no idea what they are doing. They are out of touch with their people ( staff and residents) and need to improve their process. The main focus should be shifted back to the people. Renovations are great for the exterior but if the internal changes aren't made then it's all for naught. A beautiful campus but no real change. The residents suffer because of the high turn over in staff. There is a rampant buddy network and culture of silence that prevails. They pile in residents they are not staffed or trained to handle. There are great staff who go above and beyond and then those that are complacent, and resistant to change.

Adopted 3 children from the organization. Unfortunately they each turned out to be ghosts and keep attempting to use my body as a vessel for their return. Great kids otherwise

I was in this facility as a young child of 12 a lot of unsupervised outings where the children act out sexually with each other and staff bullied the kids into doing what they wanted them to do and was supposed to do instead of encouraging them to do good Anthony right
