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.

I really enjoyed the training with ST. A. The facilitator was very knowledgeable and gave us many things to think about when working with children. I am confident after having this training we are little more sensitive about scholars and their needs. We are in our third day of school and my staff has already started the year with a different approach on dealing with scholars who may struggle with communicating what they need in order to be successful!

Sara's intro 1-day training on Trauma-Informed Schools was excellent in every way: the info shared was both sound theoretically and useful for practice; the training was well-organized and included great handouts/resources; and Sara involved the group, provided exercises to help us learn in a variety of ways, and was an interesting, knowledgeable and engaging teacher.

Sara is a great trainer and so knowledgeable of TSS/TIC. The entire staff at Saint A was helpful from beginning to end!

I recently participated in the 7ei of Trauma Sensitive Schools train the trainer course, and was very pleased. Our main trainer, Sara, was super knowledgeable about the topic, and the materials that we received make me fully prepared to now lead trainings in my own District.
