The Licensing Process

The first step of the licensing process is the Orientation Meetng.  We will discuss the application process, the home study and explain how we work with you as a team throughout the certification process and provide you with a better understanding of the children we serve and the services we provide.  This meeting is focused on your questions and our goal is to provide you with the information necessary to make an informed decision about becoming a foster parent. 

An Application for Certification to become a licensed foster parent must be completed as well as 36 hours of pre-service training.  These trainings may be completed at our agency or at another facility that offers pre-service trainings such as a county agency.

During the licensing process, our Licensing Specialist will make contact with you to schedule a convenient time to come to your home and conduct the home study and get to know you and your family.  A safety audit, fire inspection, references and background checks are just a few of the tasks that need to be completed prior to becoming licensed.
