Step 1: Attend Orientation Classes

The first step toward becoming a licensed foster parent is the completion of the required foster care/adoption pre-service preparation course.  Sessions are held three times a year, in the winter, spring and fall.  These classes are held at our agency on Tuesday evenings from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.  This is an eleven week series that educates individuals about separation and loss issues that children in foster care face.  The classes also teach about reunification, how to discipline foster children and how to work with the child welfare system.  All classes must be attended by both parents in the home before you can proceed to the next step.
