Foster Care is seen as a short term solution to an emergency situation. ACFS needs committed individuals who are:
—Willing to work with the child’s birth parents
—Supportive of efforts to return the child home
—Able to work with children who have significant emotional and behavioral needs
—Able to encourage teens toward independent living
 
Potential foster parents are NOT required to own a home, be married, or give up their jobs to foster children. Potential foster parents may be renting an apartment or single. Potential foster parents may apply for day care payments for the time that they are working or continuing their education.
 
If you are interested in becoming a foster parent please contact ACFS at 906‑495‑1232 or 906‑632‑5250.
