Finding a Foster Care Agency: Your Guide to a Successful Partnership
Finding an agency that's right for you is very important! While there may be several agencies in your area, each of them will have things that make them unique. Because of this, we recommend that you contact multiple agencies and attend multiple orientations before making your final decision. The licensure process will require you to work closely together as you share personal and private information and allow them to become your strongest advocate. Whichever agency you choose, we hope it's a team you feel comfortable with!
Preparing for Your Search
As you prepare to begin your search, we encourage you to come up with a list of questions that you will ask each agency so you are equipped with comparable information. Your Navigator can help you with this! You can also download the MDHHS "Finding an Agency That's Right for You" Checklist HERE.
Using the "Find an Agency" Tool
Once you've created your list of questions, use our "Find an Agency" tool below to filter by location and find contact information for the agencies providing foster care services in your area. When using the "Find an Agency" feature below, begin by typing your address, city, zip code, or county. Once a white, dropdown menu appears, click on the option that best matches your location and press apply. Please note: If you do not use the drop down menu or do not press apply, your results will not be filtered. All results are listed in order of proximity to the search location. Agencies displayed first are closer with agencies getting further from your search location the further down the list they are. Still having trouble finding what you're looking for?
