At our faith-based foster care and adoption agency, Adoption Connection, PA makes it a goal to find the perfect family for waiting children. Founded in 1995, our agency is devoted to guiding you through your entire adoption process. Whether you are looking to adopt privately with a birth mother or publicly through the foster care system, the staff at Adoption Connection, PA will make sure that you are prepared to open your homes & hearts. 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.

WE LOVE Adoption Connection. We just had 2 adoptions through them. The staff was always there for us and would try to help any way that they could ! If we had questions or problems the caseworkers would get back to us in a quick and timely manner. Our kids LOVE all their drivers they had for the past 2 years! My husband and I are soo blessed to have found Adoption Connection they made our dreams of a family come true.

I really do want to adopt a little girl but I'm scared to as it's a big commitment.. not just the adopting part as I would put almost every ounce of love, money and listening skills to the length I can ( I obviously have to take breaks which is why school and bed time are around) but I don't know. I know I'll be a great dad but I can't just have a child as I'm not into the opposite gender. Wish I had someone to talk to about this and sorry if what I have said is a bit confusing but I do mean it in the bottom of my heart to taking care of her and giving her time to settle in.

We are so thankful we found Adoption Connection! All of the staff have been extremely helpful and fully invested in our adoption processes. In addition, we can't say enough about Robin. We have formed a very close relationship with her and are blessed to call her our friend. She has guided us every step of the way and has gone above and beyond helping us. She is always available when we call. Without Adoption Connection, we would not have our 3 beautiful children. We talk highly of them to everyone we talk to about our story and would recommend them to anyone looking to add to their family through adoption!
