1.
Who can become a foster parent?
Foster parents can be couples or single adults over age 18, who have the ability to support themselves. You may live in either a house or an apartment. Working parents are welcome as long as appropriate child care can be arranged. If you have a strong desire to make a positive difference in a child's life and are willing to open your home and provide a nurturing, loving, and supportive environment, YOU can be a foster parent.
2.
How do I become a foster parent?
The first step is to schedule an orientation with your county Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) who will explain the qualifications and requirements.
3.
Are foster homes needed in Mariposa County?
YES! There is a desperate need for foster homes within our county. A lack of homes requires our county to place children in other counties away from familiar surroundings including friends and school.
