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.

Website says they have items in stock. Drive 45 minutes to the pearl location with my trailer only to be told they don’t have those items in stock. Wasted half of my work day.

My home is at this time is undergoing a major renovation. We have to have our electric meter box relocated. When the Entergy personnel came to inspect our box, they informed us what equipment was required and the new guidelines for why. My husband and I went to Home Depot and Lowes and the personnel in the electrical department each told us they did not know about the new guidelines and attempted to get us to purchase something other than what Entergy instructed us to purchase (They also did not have the required meter box that we needed). We went to Sutherland in Pearl and was introduced to the most professional and knowledgeable person I have encountered in a home improvement store, his name is ROBERT CAMPION.👍👍👍 When we described the meter box which the Entergy Personnel had told us to get, he quoted the exact guidelines Entergy had told us, and he also drew a picture of the meter box to assist us with understanding why the guidelines are now in effect. This was important, especially since it had to do with our electrical wiring!!!!!!!!!!! If I could have tipped him, I would have. PLEASE shop here, they are very knowledge and educated. This is what you need when you are buying something for your most important investment. I WILL CONTINUE TO BUY MY HOME SUPPLIES FOR HERE.
