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.

Hello, my name is Herbert Green and I'm a registered nurse that used to be the assistant director of nursing at Trinity elms health and rehabilitation that falls under lutheran services. Last year, Tonya hilliard administrator at multiple instances had explicit knowledge of my active symptoms and my close proximity to a covid positive individual, but still wanted to expose me to residents and staff at the facility in Clemmons NC. I have documented evidence of providing my concerns and symptoms to both Tonya and the Director of Nursing Jeanne Smart, who regardless of their knowledge proceeded to try to get me to come to the facility for testing and to work in direct contact with everyone there. I raised concerns on many occasions in person and text and was fired while under quarantine for performance issues. The public deserves to know the wilful endangering tactics the leaders of this facility utilized, especially when it comes to their employees, family members and residents.
