On behalf of Louisiana’s children and families, thank you for your interest in becoming a foster parent. More children are coming into care than there are dedicated foster families in our state, and we are grateful to for you considering being a safe and loving home for a child in need.
The first step is to fill out a quick interest form, linked below, and let us know how to reach out to you. One of our Foster Care recruiters will be in touch to answer your questions and tell you about our orientation meetings. The meetings last about an hour and give you a chance to learn more about becoming a foster caregiver. There is no obligation to continue the process after the orientation, but we sure hope you do!
Instructions:
You can view the schedule of upcoming Orientation Meetings by region below. If you aren’t sure which region you’re in, click the drop-down menu or view the map. All meetings are virtual.
