Requirements to become a foster parent
The Wyoming DFS or private licensed agencies offer foster parents various forms of support. Foster parents receive a stipend for room and board, clothing, and other care needs. Children with greater needs will receive a slightly higher payment.
The money provided to foster parents helps cover costs related to care. It's not intended to become a supplement for the parent, which is why applicants must be financially stable before housing foster kids.
Wyoming 211 provides support, referrals, and information that foster families may find useful. This state hotline can help parents find more information about government and non-profit resources in their area.
The Sheridan Foster Parent Exchange allows foster parents to connect. Reaching out to other foster families is an excellent way to learn more about the system and gain valuable advice. After all, continual education is one of a foster parent's responsibilities.
