Requirements to become a foster parent
The Oklahoma Department of Human Services (OKDHS) provides foster care support, such as connecting parents to hotlines and listing information about the licensure process. Besides the State Department of Human Resources, many private agencies in Oklahoma are dedicated to helping foster children and the parents that care for them.
The Oklahoma Family Network (OFN) helps children with special healthcare needs. OFN can connect parents with appropriate resources and training. Their Resource Directory lists organizations and professionals by topics, such as food assistance or disability services, so you can easily find help in your area.
The National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) is part of the Children’s Health Act. You can learn more about child trauma and trauma-informed care. There are also informational materials and training available through the NCTSN.
Additionally, private adoption agencies offer programs and support for any parent interested in fostering to adopt.

We have been involved with Deaconess for 18 years. We have adopted three children from there. In our opinion, there is no other agency that does adoption better. We highly recommend this agency to all of the members involved in adoption; birth moms, adoptive families, and adoptees. They are ministry to all.

We are so thankful for Deaconess Pregnancy & Adoption Services! They provide everything from education for hopeful adoptive parents, support along the way, legal services and lifelong counseling services. One of the reasons we chose to work with them was because of their ethical approach to expecting parents- they never coerce pregnant women but support her whether she chooses to parent or make an adoption plan. They offer lifelong support available to birth families and adoptive families. Our experience with DPA has been wonderful!

Deaconess made the entire adoption process a joy. It's a very stressful time, and they were always there to answer any question we had. They provided us ample material, and really helped prepare us for the start of our journey. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to adopt.

There is no way to adequately express, what DPAS has done in countless lives, touched by the beauty of adoption! For my family, almost 19 years ago, my grandson was born & placed with my daughter & her husband, through DPAS. Every step of this miraculous process was laced with love, compassion for the birth Mom, as well as adopting parents, & the highest level of professionalism. I was touched by the ongoing support, after the adoption itself, for the birth Mother, & my daughter's family. They care & provide beyond the filing of the documents. I loved this amazing organization so much, that I have spent the past 15 plus years, serving on the fund-raising committee. I have seen up close, what God does through these wonderful people, & the value they have for everyone who comes through their doors. It is my life-long prayer, that young pregnant women, will increasingly choose to place their precious infants, in the homes of families whom God has lovingly chosen! DPAS is worthy of being a part of it all!
