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 adopted our two children through AFTH. Our social workers were always available to talk with us when we had a concern or just needed to talk. Both times we were in the books for approximately six months. It can be nerve wracking waiting for a call, but when you receive it, and your social worker is just as excited as the adoptive parents are, it makes the process worth it! Jen and Stephanie walked us through the whole process of hospital procedures and sending updates to the birthfamilies. We cannot thank the birthfamilies who chose AFTH and the social workers at AFTH for helping us build our family. Our home has never experienced so much joy!
