Requirements to become a foster parent

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.

We have been blessed to work with Deaconess on the adoptions of two of our children. We can not say enough about the professionalism and kindness that was shown to us throughout the entire process. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish both times. They are a group of ladies that is dedicated to helping birth moms and adoptive families and are truly compassionate as they deal with a very beautiful but challenging time in people's lives. You can tell that they love what they do!

LOVED it doesn't even begin to describe how we feel about this ministry. We honestly feel forever indebted to them letting God work through each of them...tirelessly. The hours of love that each of them have poured into our birth families, our children and our hearts cannot be calculated. When someone asks me about Deaconess or who we used for our adoptions, they mostly regret it because I CANNOT STOP TALKING. We have had experience with another agency and as much as we wish all four of our babies were with one agency, this experience helped us to see how phenomenal Deaconess is. We started our journey with Deaconess 10 years ago now and for 10 solid years we have had their counseling, love, encouragement, prayers & support. I would highly recommend that whatever side of the adoption triad you are; that you seek out help from them. You will never regret it! Thank you Deaconess for teaching us so much and changing our lives forever!

My family has had the privilege of working with Deaconess for the past year as we began and navigated our journey of adopting an older child. The women who we have worked with are some of the most caring and compassionate women we have ever met. They have walked hand in hand with us every step of the way, offering support in so many ways. They have several events throughout the year for adoptive families, offering a way to connect and spend time with families similar to ours. They also offer an event for the birth mothers who place children through their agency. They also offer lifelong counseling to our family and the child we adopted, free of charge, as a way to make sure we are all connecting and attaching well. They are also very well trained in Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) and offer so much support in parenting. They have been a God send and are irreplaceable in our eyes. We appreciate them more than we can express.
