Being a foster parent is so much more than loving a child in your home. It’s also showing kindness to a family when they need it most.
It’s giving a child a safe place to land during a hard, scary time when they’re away from home. And it’s showing compassion to a parent who is likely overwhelmed, scared, and without a lot of support.
It’s helping a child stay connected to the only home they’ve ever known, in whatever way it’s safe to do so, and cheering on a family that’s living out a comeback story.
At Bethany, our heart beats for family. We want to see families strong, supported, and together. But we know there are times when families face challenges—and children need care.
That’s why we’re seeking foster parents who believe in families too.

Requirements to become a foster parent
There are many services on hand to support those who foster children in Mississippi. Let's take a look at what's available for caregivers:
Support Payments
In Mississippi, foster parents receive a daily board payment from the Division of Family and Children's Services (DFCS) to help pay for the foster child's board, clothing, and personal allowances. These payments vary and can be between $22.83 and $51.55, depending on the child's age, situation, and needs.
Foster children who have special needs that are not covered by their board payment or monthly allowance can receive up to $100 per month, as necessary. However, this is not a guaranteed monthly allowance and is only provided on a case-by-case basis.
Medical and Dental Coverage
Many children in foster care qualify for medical and dental Medicaid coverage.
The foster parents have the obligation to arrange and accompany the child to all medical and dental appointments. This ensures their overall health and wellness.
Training and Support Groups
Foster parents have access to extra training and support groups. These resources give a platform to foster parents and allow them to interact with others who have experience with the distinctive challenges fostering can pose.

No one was available to help me. I walked around for awhile. Then went to front to find out red mulch was outside and I'd have to drive around to get it. Again no one to help. Loaded a bag wasn't feeling comfortable and the receipt number wasn't matching finally a man came. Ugg. Terrible service.

Pretty good store overall. The young guy in the doors/cabinets/plywood department needs to lighten up a little bit. Chill bro, life's precious.

I'm thinking that is one of the places to find what you need for work around the house

Couldn’t get help. I asked the young lady at the front counter if she would call someone to help me. Waited ten minutes and she still didn’t call. Asked an associate and he just pointed me in the direction and said they should be on the isle. After waiting 10 more minutes ,I left and went to Lowe’s for some better service
