How can I get a permit to open a residential group home for children or a child-placing (adoption) agency?
A. Residential childcare (group homes for children) and child-placing (adoption) agencies are licensed by the Office of Regulatory Services (ORS) of the Georgia Department of Human Resources. Specific information about these programs is available at http://www2.state.ga.us/Departments/DHR/ORS/orsccl.htm or call (404) 657-9644.
