- 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.

I experienced the great relationship with adoption link almost ten years ago now. I can not even put into words how great it was and the treatment and compassion that I received as a birth mother. I dealt directly with Naomi and the parents that I choose were the best possible parents I could have never even dreamed of to raise my little girl. I truly believe that I chose what was best for my baby at that time and I believe that she is going to grow up with all the best in love but most importantly a great loving family who cares for her very much. Thank you adoption link for being so great at what you do and caring for me as a birth mom as well as the babies and adoptive parents too.

We had a wonderful experience with Adoption Link! Naomi and Greg were always available to us for any questions/concerns we had during the process. Once our home study was approved we were matched with a birth mom approximately 8 months later. We were able to attend dr.s appointments with her and were at the hospital when our beautiful daughter was born.

We used Adoption Link for the adoptions of both of our children. We would highly recommend them to other prospective adoptive parents. We were happy with the process, their knowledge and compassion from beginning to end.

Great experience with Adoption Link. We waited with an agency in Sylvannia, OH for 18 months and decided to restart the process from scratch with Adoption Link by recommendation of a friend from church. We did and 2 months later we were holding our precious gift of a daughter in our arms. They know the law, they know the process, they are super laid back, efficient and easy to work with . Can't say enough positive and it isn't just because they were the agency that got us a baby. We have been investigating agencies for several years and I would rank them at the top of any list we would ever use again.
