What are the training requirements for foster and adoptive parents?
Training is a very important component of foster parenting and adopting, because children in foster care have a variety of unique needs. Foster and adoptive parents are required to attend 36 hours of pre-placement PACE training prior to caring for a child. The training provides prospective foster and adoptive parents the skills and knowledge essential to providing a stable and nurturing environment for children. Once licensed, ongoing training is required and must be completed yearly in order to keep your license in good standing.
