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 can not say enough good things about this organization. When my wife and I began our journey for adoption when had no idea on how to start. Building Blocks practically lead us by the hand through the entire process from start to finish. Building Blocks really does care about the families they are helping and of course the children that are being adopted
Without them our family would not be complete. Our son not only brings joy and happiness to us but our entire family, friends and all of those whom he comes in contact with his teachers, coaches and friends.
To this day we consider Building Blocks entire staff as our extended family. Without them our family would not be what it is today.
I would recommend them highly for any family wanting to adopt or to any woman who may consider giving a child up for adoption.

Horrible service I was very disappointed with how they treat people especially the birth mother's they we're very disrespectful and I did not like having to deal with more than one person. Horrible agency

We were blessed to create our family though our partnership with Building Blocks and can't thank them enough for all of their help in bringing our son into our lives. We researched many agencies before choosing to partner with BBAS and it is their communication, professionalism, knowledge and positive references that make them stand out as the best. Our main focus in choosing an agency was selecting one that fully supports birth parents and BBAS is the agency we feel confident offers this experience. We love that they shared with us tons of information about the adoption process from the beginning which helped us to feel educated and knowledgable throughout our partnership. We were thrilled that all of our home study preparation was able to be completed from home which helped the process go more quickly. The BBAS team are always easy to get in touch with, they respond immediately to questions and they provide consistent updates throughout the process. We are confident in partnering with BBAS again in the future when we are ready for our son to become a big brother!

Building Blocks Adoption Services was so helpful to my husband and me in the adoption process. They answered all of our questions, and encouraged us along the way. When we were finally chosen, they even helped with our travel arrangements, so that we could focus on what was really important - picking up our newborn son! I highly recommend BBAS, as a caring, christian and knowledgeable agency.
