Services and information
- Adoption
Requirements to become a foster parent
After deciding to foster, make sure your household members are on board with what will be a life-changing decision to foster. Then, educate yourself about Ohio's requirements for foster parents. Applicants who want to foster or adopt in Ohio must:
- Be at least 21 years of age
- Live in a safe and stable home
- Meet home safety requirements
- Clear a background check with fingerprinting
- Provide at least three character references
- Provide ample space for a foster child in their house or apartment
- Attend foster parent orientation
- Take part in required hours of foster parent training
- Maintain financially stability
- Prove good health
- Complete the Home Study process
To apply or ensure you meet the prerequisites, there are two primary Ohio state resources. Contact the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) or a local Public Children's Service Agency (PCSAs).
If you are ready to learn more, contact a local child-placing agency to schedule foster parent information orientation. At orientation, aspiring foster parents learn more about foster parenting responsibilities, navigating the foster system, and the foster application process. If you have questions, orientation is an excellent opportunity to ask questions and meet other potential foster families.
Administrative paperwork can take some time to complete, but having everything prepared will ensure it goes smoothly. It will help the process move along if you gather financial documents ahead of time. These include tax filings and paystubs, which you will need to show as proof of financial stability.
Foster parents in Ohio must also attend 24 hours of pre-service foster parent training. This training teaches foster families about the trauma experienced by all foster children. It also covers how to provide general and specialized care to foster children.

We researched adoption options for 8 years, talking with several agencies in Ohio and discussing with friends who had gone through the adoption process. We chose to work with Adoption Link, and they have been great through the whole process. We would highly recommend their caring, professional staff!

We have had two wonderful experiences adopting through this agency. Our home study process was quick and efficient and our placements happened very quickly as well - we brought our first daughter home two months after completing our home study and profile and brought our second daughter home two weeks after updating our profile. Naomi and her staff are very thorough and experienced, making sure nothing gets missed along the way. We have recommended Adoption Link to friends who have had similar experiences as well. I can't say enough good things about them! If you are hoping to adopt in Ohio, Adoption Link is an excellent choice.

Our two boys came home to us through Adoption Link, and we couldn't be happier that we chose this agency. The process was smooth and efficient, and we received a lot of support from the agency throughout the entire process. We feel so blessed to now be a family of four, and Adoption Link made that possible!

Adoption Link helped us realize our dream of becoming a family. Everyone was very friendly and helpful to us throughout the entire process. Naomi was always willing and available to answer any questions we had. We had a wonderful experience with Adoption Link and would definitely recommend it to others looking to adopt.

My husband and I used Adoption Link, Inc. for our two adoptions. We could not be happier! Naomi and her team were helpful, responsive, and caring throughout every step of the process. We had used other agencies before Adoption Link was recommended to us and I can say that this agency is the best! We would highly recommend this agency!
