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.

Our family cannot put into words how grateful we are to the Adoption Link staff. They were with us every step of the way. Naomi was responsive, professional, and so empathetic our whole process. We are so thankful for the support we received from Leslie during our match. Adoption Link loves and cares for the expectant mom and adoptive families. We are so honored to have been chosen by our son's amazing birth mom. We also appreciate all the help and support we received from University Hospital in Cincinnati during our son's delivery and our stay. They were helpful, kind, and so supportive. We couldn't recommend Adoption Link more!

We have had such a wonderful experience with the adoption link team! Our daughter was born just a few short weeks ago and we couldn’t have been happier with the support and guidance they provided. They have been super transparent and always there when we have any questions. We can’t say enough wonderful things about Naomi and her team. :)

Beyond grateful to have been referred to Adoption Link! Thanks to Naomi and staff we were blessed to have adopted an amazingly perfect little boy who completed our family and made us parents. Naomi and her staff are extremely professional, very easy to get in touch with, always kept us up to date, and ALWAYS made us feel supported by the agency. Naomi is extremely knowledgeable and made what could have been confusing and relatively easy process. We cannot recommend Adoption Link more highly. Thank you, Naomi!!

We could not be more grateful to this team of professionals that made our adoption experience wonderful. Naomi, Paige and Micki were responsive, kind and a wonderful support to my family through this process. We loved working with them and could not have asked for a better agency to partner with on our adoption journey.

We have had an excellent experience with Adoption Link. Naomi and the social workers provide excellent support to both birthmothers and adoptive families. We have felt supported through our adoption processes and would recommend Adoption Link to families hoping to grow through adoption.
