Can I choose the age, sex, race and number of children I want to provide foster care to?
Yes. The Homefinding staff will work with you to determine how many children you will be certified to foster and what type of children will best fit your home. The maximum number of children that may be fostered in one home is six children under the age of 13, and no more than two under the age of 2. The maximum number of children in one home includes any other children currently residing in your home.
