In Wisconsin, there are more than 7,000 children in foster care. People have already stepped up to become licensed foster parents, but there’s still not enough homes for children in need. That’s where you come in.
We need families and individuals from all backgrounds, cultures and family structures to represent the diverse range of children who need safe and supportive homes.
You don’t have to be perfect to become a foster parent, but you do need to be patient, understanding and committed to a child’s current and future needs. Foster parents must be at least 21 years old. You can be single, married or partnered. You can work outside the home (including full-time) and have children of your own in the home.

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.

Very challenging agency to work with. Sad for the many kids who have been in our home whose best interest have not been considered or fought for by them. I have too many examples to share. 😢

The training our team received from the staff at SaintA will further our knowledge around trauma informed services on all levels. Our community, school systems, workplaces, and businesses will benefit from the in depth approach they provide in all their workshops. I highly recommend attending any of their trainings.
