How would my friends become foster parents??????

Question

my friends would really like to become foster parents the problem is they are not married yet do you know of any way they can possibly do this. they live in mobile, alabama. so please only local and serious answer. no spam please this is a very serious matter. they will make wonderful parents they are great with my babies. they are even considering adoption but without an agency just the birthmother and a lawyer.

Answer 1

They would need to contact the department of youth and family services.  The laws differ greatly state to state about unmarried people fostering or adopting, but the state agency can certainly give them some direction.  Good luck to them!

Answer 2

Tell them to contact the local Dept of Children's Welfare.   They can direct them properly.
