How to Become A Foster Parent
“Every child has a right to be a member of a healthy and supportive family.”
According to the North Carolina Department of Social Services, to be eligible as a foster parent, you must meet the following criteria:
Unfortunately, in the past few years, the number of children in need of foster care has risen, due to state unemployment rates, poverty, and the growing opioid crisis. Now more than ever, children and teens alike need loving, caring homes where they can feel supported and grow to the best of their ability. You could be the difference in one child's life. There are a number of reasons that families find a calling to become foster parents, and regardless of that reason, always find that growing their family with a foster child is enriching and beneficial to their life.
When you become a foster parent, you should also know that foster children will receive Medicaid and WIC (as age appropriate) and that daycare assistance may be available, too. Other types of government aid will be explained to you during your foster parent training.
