What is Guardianship?
Guardianship is a permanency planning outcome that establishes a “permanent guardianship” relationship between the foster child and the guardian. Like adoption, foster parents are usually considered first to provide guardianship to foster children placed in their care, especially when a bond has been established between the foster child and the foster parent.
How long does the process take to have children placed in my home? It all depends on how soon you can complete all of the requirements. A reasonable time expectation would be about 60-days after submitting a completed application.
Do you have to own a home to be a foster parent? No. Foster parents can live in an apartment or home rental as long as they have the required living space.
Do I have to be married? No. You can be single, married, divorced, or legally separated.
