The single greatest qualification to become a foster parent is to have a deep desire to help a child who needs you. Beyond that, foster parents are of all ages, races, and income levels. Foster parents may be married or single, working or retired, renters or homeowners, have children, or have no parenting experience at all.

You can get more detailed requirements at one of our upcoming information meetings, but these are the basic requirements for becoming licensed to foster a child with Arrow:

MORE DETAILS ON DIFFERENT TYPES OF FOSTER CARE

Be at least 21 years of age, financially stable, and a responsible mature adult
Marital status cannot have changed for one year
Pass a criminal history background check, and abuse/neglect check on all adults in the household
Provide personal references from spiritual, business, employment, and social relationships, and at least one personal reference from a relative not living with you

You and your family are the only ones who can determine if opening your home to a child temporarily is something you can do. So first, you need information. No brochure or website can adequately help you make that decision. That’s why we hold regular live webinars where you can get the information you need and have all your questions answered.
