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.

Worst service ever. They lied to my judge about me and said that I need drug and alcohol treatment when I don't do any type of drugs. All I wanted was family counseling to get my kids back. I filed a complaint to the supervisor. Almost jepeordized my visiting rights. Wouldn't recomend to anyone. All they wanted was insurance coverage. No help at all. Worst staff.

this place has no respect for anyone. the theripist i got seems to be an unprofessional being. apparently shes not there daily but doesnt tell me the days she is so i could call to make my second appointment. the front desk people when calling gave me a stuckup remark saying that i need to give my name to call my therapist who wont even contact me. then i contact the therapists supervisor and suddenly my therapist is in contact and then makes a remark of " well my supervisor said i dont need to tell you what days im here for reasons that i may be with another client." place honestly is so unprofessional it makes me so anxious...

This place is Bullshit, I called for treatment for my children, and they take over a week to call back for an Intake appointment, after you leave a message on their intake line, and then after that appointment you have to wait 3 more weeks to get assigned a freaking therapist.... which is never told to you in the first place. Bullshit!!!!

This agency is top of the line! The experiences with staff there (counselors, receptionists, psychiatrists, and even management) has been excellent. I am thoroughly pleased with their Family Based Mental Health Services (FBMHS). And although the first two counselors were not good matches for my individual therapy, We finally made a connection with the next one!
They do have a stringent attendance policy but with good reasons....without consistency there is not good progress.
Very professional staff. Also very experienced and knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile for clients that are willing to put in the effort.:)
