Become a Foster Parent

Advocacy for Foster Children aims to find kind and loving parents for children in need in Georgia. We provide training and support for anyone who wants to become a foster parent. Our goal is to find adults that can provide immediate safety, care, and well-being in a loving home. These children are in State Custody due to substantiated child abuse, neglect, or abandonment. Our aim is to piece broken lives back together.

Basic Qualifications 

  1. If single, a person needs to be at least 25 years old to apply and must be a minimum of 10 years older than the child.
  2. Need to pass a medical exam, give a fingerprint check, pass the Georgia Child Protective Services screening, a National Sex Offender Registry check, a Pardons and Paroles System screening, and a screening by the Department of Corrections database.
  3. Must show stability, maturity, and a positive mentoring attitude for children

Upcoming Events

Support the Campaign to Find Homes for Foster Children

Do you have room in your heart and a home for foster children in need? Support our campaign to advocate for safer and better homes for children in need. There is a dire need for foster homes in Georgia, so it is our job to find them!

Spread The Word About the Desperate Need for Foster Parents in Georgia

We need volunteers to support our campaign to spread the word about the importance of informing ministers and priests about the need for foster homes. Spreading the word is how positive change can be brought into the life of a child who desperately needs it.

Host an Educating Talk on Foster Care

You can open your church, business, workplace, and other spots in the community to have an exhibition or talk. Educating more and more people about the necessity of foster parenting can help meet the demands of foster homes in Georgia.

Recruitment of New Foster Parents Campaign

Advocacy for Foster Children is looking to host talks in different locations where you can join, learn, and help support our campaign. Exhibiting or talk locations include local churches, and you can help by distributing handouts and other small tasks.
