Potential foster parents work with the State of GA to become a DFCS foster home, or with a Child Placing Agency (CPA). A CPA is regulated by the state, and places children in foster homes for temporary care or for adoption. A CPA offers services provided by highly trained foster parents and must meet a set of minimum standards for Room, Board, and Watchful Oversight (RBWO) while it is under contract with the state. 

 

You can get started by visiting www.FosterGeorgia.com, an entire website dedicated to helping foster parents and potential foster parents.
