We believe that every child deserves a home with their forever family.
Be the one who makes a difference in the life of a child. You may ask yourself with over 400,000 children and teens in the foster care system, will becoming a foster family have any impact? The answer is a resounding YES! If not you, then who? By sharing your life, love, faith, and home with a child in the child welfare system, you can be the one who makes a difference. Parents are needed in every community so that children can remain close to what is familiar to them, including their families and schools. You can provide change, and trust and help rebuild the brokenness of a heart while teaching children to love others and themselves.

Requirements to become a foster parent
You must meet minimum requirements to provide foster care in Pennsylvania. Foster parents for children in need must:
- Be a minimum of 21 years old
- Pass a criminal background check with fingerprinting
- Have time and energy to devote to fostering
- Live in a safe and healthy environment
- Prove good health through a medical examination/physical
- Maintain financial stability
- Clear all home safety requirements
- Complete required pre-service training hours
- Finish the Home Inspection
After fulfilling all requirements during the approval process, licensed foster parents can welcome a foster child into their home. To maintain a valid license, foster parents must also participate in ongoing training each year.
All adults who are living in homes with foster children in Pennsylvania must pass a required criminal background check and fingerprinting. This includes adult children who are family members living at home.
There are other, more detailed requirements for foster homes, such as having a flushing toilet and an operable phone. Prospective foster parents will learn more details during foster parent orientation.
Once you've decided to foster, you can contact a public or private foster agency or the Pennsylvania State Resource Family Association. Foster agencies screen and train prospective foster families and ensure applicants are good candidates for foster care.

My husband and I couldn't be more pleased and thankful for the experience we had with Adoption Connection. Every single person there is kind, empathetic, organized but most importantly, they have the same goal as their clients do which is to bring children and families together in a safe and loving home. They kept us informed every step of the way through our daughter's adoption, it was truly seamless. They didn't treat us like a number just waiting in line, they knew and understood our dreams and goals and helped us navigate through so much uncertainty. I can also say that even though we never met our daughter's birth mom, we knew that she was treated with just as much care and compassion as we were. I would recommend Adoption Connection of PA to any family considering adoption or fostering and if you are a birth mom looking for a supportive and caring group of people to help you choose a life for your baby, I urge you to work with them. They will hold your hand through your journey and help you to find a loving and committed family for your little one. We love Adoption Connection and are beyond thankful for our little Gracie!
