Wesley Family Services is a non-profit organization that serves more than 20,000 individuals annually throughout Southwestern Pennsylvania. Our more than 900 caring staff members and highly trained and licensed clinicians are committed to providing high-quality behavioral healthcare services and support programs to children, adults, and families over the course of their lifespan so that they are empowered to reach their full potential.
Sometimes a child is not able to live with their birth parents due to a variety of reasons and needs to be placed into a temporary or a permanent home—that’s where we come in.
We provide a variety of placement services, like foster care and adoption, and help facilitate the process of finding safe, stable homes for children in need.

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.

I was forced to go here years ago against my will now I am 19 and moved out and they continue to harass me with bills. I'm not going to pay something that 1 my parents should have to pay for since I was underage and 2 I was forced to go there I'm not going to pay for something I didn't want.
This isn't even mentioning what it is like while there...

Lovely group of people who have gone above and beyond to help our child succeed. Everyone I've dealt with has been friendly, understanding, and informative. So thankful they were there when we needed them!
