Foster Parenting - Orientation

The first step on the road to becoming a foster parent is ORIENTATION.  Each session is 2 1/2 hours and gives an introduction to foster care, a description of the children we serve and an explanation of the process.  At the end of this training, families can begin the home study process by completing an application.  Families will also need to complete a 12 hour pre-placement training during the home study process.
