For those who decide to become licensed to provide foster care for adults, the licensing process begins at no cost to them.
In addition to meeting state licensing requirements, foster families should be able to provide a stable family in a one- or two-parent home, adequate housing, and love and support for those in their care.
Before families can be licensed, they must undergo a thorough screening process, which includes an extensive background check.
