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 lived there for 5 years growing up the staff restrain kids 24/7 I have nightmares as an adult because of this facility you cannot see your parents. The staff beat on you and one choked me uncontious in a quiet room staff member mr banks ! Kids would awol and go missing and never tell anyone they did (I would skip head count) I was restrained for hours and when you get in trouble they take ur blankets and all your belongings and an orphan and call it a stripped room <_< kids had every right to fight against the system this place is evil beyond it I was lied to and was told this place was torn down in outraged it even has reviews. There’s nothing but punching and rioting. I took 6 hour therapy seessons a day this was torture !!!!that being said there was only a select few staff who even wanted to work here it’s wrong

This place is a nightmare. Drug use within the facility. Staff is extremely rude. Not a therapeutic environment whatsoever. So sad. It has taken months of fighting with them to get my daughter to a better facility. My husband and I have full rights over our daughter, yet they refuse to let us have contact. They only gave us updates of incidents. If your child is struggling, whatever you do, DO NOT SEND THEM HERE!!! We pick up our daughter tomorrow and I hope she was safe these last 3 months. This facility needs to be shut down!!

I was there six months ago and they treated me like trash and the staffs are unprofessional due to a crisis and they yell at kids and they threatened me and the staff closed the door and started yelling at me because I was crying . Don’t recommend this place .
