Requirements to become a foster parent
Foster parents receive a reimbursement or payment to help with care costs. According to the Oregon Department of Human Services, the Oregon foster care rates are as follows:
- Base rate payment of $693 per month (age 0-5 years)
- Base rate payment of $733 per month (age 6-12)
- Base rate payment of $795 per month (age 13 - 20)
These payments are meant to help cover the costs of food, clothing, housing, transportation, personal care items, etc. Parents may also receive a shelter care payment.
The DHS or private foster care agencies provide flexible training opportunities, on-call support, access to a network of professionals, support groups, and respite care.
Respite care gives full-time foster parents a break when needed or allows them to address emergency situations.
With Love Oregon is a non-profit that supports foster families by providing clothing and supplies to young children. Parents can get clothing, diapers, car seats, and more.

The support and help I got working with this company was amazing!!!! They were there for me the whole time and I really needed some support they where very helpful and encouraging without being pushy to get me to adopt my baby girl out. Rhey gave me all the info and help and where there for me when I didn't have many others to go to. Even if u are just thinking about it and want some info I highly recommend them they r the best!!!!!!!!!!

Counselors are caring, but it's a revolving door kind of place.
