Requirements to become a foster parent
Foster parents receive a maintenance payment to help cover some of the care costs of raising a child. The rate parents receive varies depending on the child's age and their special needs. Foster children also receive a clothing allowance, covering their medical needs.
The Missouri Department of Social Services website shows you the latest rates.
However, these maintenance payments aren't always enough. Everything from school supplies to toys can cut into that budget. Many businesses and organizations are stepping up to help cover the gaps and assist foster families.
Foster Together provides a walk-in shopping service for foster children free of charge. Kids can find new and like-new clothing, toys, car seats, and more.
Foster parents caring for younger children can look to Nurses for Newborns, which provides health assessments, screenings, education, and more support.
Another valuable resource is respite care, which gives foster parents a break when needed. Respite foster care is a temporary service offered by other trained foster families. It's also useful in the event of an emergency situation.

My daughter was there for residential due to her autism. The teachers and therapists were wonderful. Although, there seemed to be no d of high turn over for therapists. I was less impressed with cottage staff. Anything that I sent with my daughter that was new disappeared. She wore the second hand stuff that the school had donated and all the new stuff I'd send back with her waa gone. She had blankets and stuffed animals disappear as well. I would recommend the school, but make sure you don't send anything you want your child to be able to keep.

Just not the same since they fired LaTanya. She really tied the whole place together.
