Foster Parenting

How to Become a Foster Parent in Georgia 

Foster parenting is a very rewarding experience for both the parent and child. As a foster parent you will be able to make a huge difference in a child's life by taking them into your home. Our ultimate goal at It Is Well is to provide safe and loving homes for our foster children who come from inadequate home situations. For that reason our potential parents at It Is Well go through a process which gives proper education and training. This process is done to ensure a safe and adequate home for our foster children. Here at It Is Well we provide: orientation, education, certification, training, classes, and financial support for our foster parents.
