All types of families can become licensed foster parents, including adults who are single, married, or living with a partner. Arbor Circle accepts, affirms, and celebrates our LGBTQ+ foster and adoptive families and actively seeks racially diverse foster families who demographically represent the children we serve. Foster parents should have an adequate income to meet their family’s needs to be financially stable, and can rent or own their home. Children are able to share bedrooms based on the needs of all children in the home. Certain felony convictions may potentially disqualify you from becoming a foster parent, but you are encouraged to discuss details directly with a licensing worker to determine if you are eligible.
