Offer a compassionate, responsive, and safe place for individuals and families who have questions and concerns
Provide accessible and reliable information at every stage of a family’s journey
Create opportunities for ongoing learning and social connections
Build awareness about the unique journey of children, youth, and families impacted by foster care, adoption, and kinship care

Requirements to become a foster parent

The Wisconsin Foster Care and Adoption Resource Center (FCARC) provides educational materials on its website, and you can learn more about foster care through the No Matter What: Stories of Hope and Resilience YouTube Channel. There are also links to family support associations and groups.

You can look up statewide meetings, training options, and events on the FCARC website or contact them at 1-800-762-8063.

Fostering Across Wisconsin is a newsletter that contains helpful articles, stories, and resources. These newsletters are available to parents via a free lending library.

The State of Wisconsin Foster Parent Handbook is packed with valuable tips. It's an excellent source of information to refer to if you need to clarify something or learn more about a foster parent's responsibilities.

Your local foster and adoption agency is always there for you as well. They should be your first choice when contacting someone with questions or concerns.
