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

The state requires that foster parents get licensed through their local Department of Social Services or a licensed private agency. These sources will be your best form of support. Through them, you'll receive training and have a point of contact for emergencies.

If you ever have questions, reach out to your case manager. They're trained to assist foster families and the children in their care.

The Foster Family Alliance of North Carolina is a statewide association that recruits new parents, provides training, and offers support. You can find training and webinars online. You can also read parenting tips, find your region, and more.

The National Foster Parent Association is a non-profit that provides training and education. Caregivers can also find free online training through the NFPA.

The NC Division of Social Services (NC DSS) is the agency in charge of overseeing the state's child welfare system. NC Kids assists new foster parents with the early stages of the process. You can find children awaiting adoption and access foster care and adoption support services.

It also helps to form connections with other foster families, especially those with years of experience. You may have questions or need advice from them. It can make you feel like you have someone on your side through your journey.

Our experience with Bethany Christian Services was absolutely amazing. The process of adopting can be long and arduous; our social worker Angela walked with us through many long months, always encouraging and keeping us focused on staying Christ-centered in our marriage and praying for our future birthmother. When we were chosen by a birth mother, the entire staff threw a celebration “Placement Ceremony” that was so precious and touching. They even helped us film it! The support that Bethany Christian Services provides during and even after placement is helpful beyond words. We may have given up without the countless encouragement and love given to us by our social worker and the rest of the rest of the staff. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to adopt.

Three little boys...all so different...all so loved! One taught us to love fully every day as life is short. One brought exceptional laughter and joy into our home and hearts. One was to cuddle and hold dear as we marveled at the miracles we have been witness to! All three loved beyond measure. All three Foster Children entrusted to us by Bethany Christian Services! To all the loving, caring and dedicated souls at Bethany Christian Services we thank you for letting us be a part of your family through fostering!
