Foster Care
Foster Care Services are provided to ensure the safety of children in an alternative care arrangement when their safety cannot be maintained in their own home. Foster care is a temporary plan of care until the child can be safely returned to their home, be placed in the custody or guardianship of another approved caretaker or adopted.
The agency recruits families to be licensed as foster parents. Assessments and training are provided at no cost to applicant families. Harnett County has 35 licensed foster homes providing care for children in the custody of the agency. There is a need for more foster homes for children of all ages. Many foster parents adopt children in their care if adoption becomes the plan approved by the court for the child. There is also a need for specialized foster homes to provide care for delinquent and undisciplined youth. If you are interested in learning more about becoming a foster parent, please contact the agency and information will be mailed to you.
Genreal Requirments
Potential foster and adoptive parents are also required to complete a 30 hours pre-licensing training program. Both spouses must atten the training.
A foster care application form can be downloaded from this site and mailed to the agency after completion.
