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.

Kanisha presented 7 Essential Ingredients of Trauma Sensitive Schools to all staff and did a great job! Staff were involved and actively learning. She made the information pertinent to them and left us with resources so we could continue the process of becoming a trauma sensitive school. Well done!

I have driven pass SaintA for years always wondering what the organization is and after being able to take a Trauma Informed Care session it opened my eyes and mind to what SanitA offers!

The SaintA one day overview training was informational and inspirational! The depth and breadth of the topics Tim Grove presented are still percolating in my heart and head. I am believer that trauma informed care can make a difference in our communities, society and history.

I enjoyed the training and felt very comfortable after the course. I would consider taking other training courses with SaintA.

We learned so much about trauma and how it can manifest itself. Learning about the why is so important before we move onto what we can do about it.
