Foster care is the out of home care of a minor. Some children require temporary out of home care due to parental neglect, abuse or exploitation. Foster parents, also known as "resource families," provide love, parental care, guidance and stability to children until they can be returned to their parents or move to a permanent home through adoption or guardianship.

For more information about how to become a foster/resource parent, foster/adoptive parent, or how your organization can help with recruitment, fill​ out the information (Interested in Becoming a Resource Parent)​ on the Foster Home Licensing page and someone from Foster Home Licensing will contact you with information.
