Mobile County's Department of Human Resouces has custody of more than 650 children. Yet, only 150 foster homes are available. Almost anyone, single or married, can become a licensed foster parent. DHR will do a background check, and a home visit is required. Foster parents also have to take a 30 hour training course.
Every baby deserves a home.
You can also help by providing infant and newborn clothing, diapers, car seats, or anything else of value to the newborn, or the family taking the child in. You can also provide cloth and other supplies which volunteers will use to turn into clothes and other necessities. Or you can volunteer to do this work if you are handy with a needle. This site 2000.
