Applying is a multi-step process.
It is important that you take the Foster Parent Self-Assessment – KidsNet_Assessment_Guide.pdf – this will help you understand how you feel about fostering and if it is right for you. Feel free to contact one of the Foster Parent Trainers if you have any questions.
Finally, you must attend a Foster Parent Information Meeting. We will tell you about our current needs and allow plenty of time for questions and answers.
Meetings will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m..
Sessions will be held through WebEx by clicking these links:

We are in need of families for all ages, especially:
• Youth age 12 and up.
• Large sibling groups (3 children and up) – you must have room to accommodate the children.
• Families that can care for young children (0-4) who cannot attend daycare for one reason or another, including, but not limited to:
-newborns (too young/not eligible for daycare);
-medical needs (child needs to be stabilized before he or she will be able to go to daycare);
-child has experienced trauma thus transitions/multiple caretakers need to be minimized.
