Step 2: Complete and Submit an Application
Once you have completed the required pre-service classes, you will need to fill out an application to become a foster or foster-to-adopt parent. The application requires that you provide us with three references who are not related to you. Each parent will be asked to write an autobiography and the family will be required to complete a financial form to ensure that additional members will not create a financial strain upon the family. Additionally, all family members will need to have physical examinations. This may seem like a lot, but keep in mind how much you would like to know about people who might be asked to care for your own children.
Every applicant or family member eighteen years of age and older living in the home will be required to submit to a background check for prior criminal history and/or child abuse history.
