What are the steps that I need to take in order to become a foster parent?
The first step to becoming a foster parent is to contact a MACF, a treatment foster care licensing agency. The foster care licensing worker will answer questions and provide further information. You and your family will need to fill out an extensive application form. The licensing agencies offer foster care orientations and pre-service trainings. Prospective foster parents participate in an in-depth licensing study involving interviews of all household members.
