Welcome to the Arkansas Foster Parent website! The Division of Children and Family Services (DCFS) recognizes that we could not take care of our foster children without you, and we appreciate what you do for us every day! We have created this website in an effort to better communicate with our foster parents and keep you up to date with information that you need to know. We want you to be able to access information any time you need it!

With this website, DCFS hopes to have more informed foster parents who feel like they are more than just a foster parent, but also part of a team! We want to keep you up to date on policy/procedures that may affect foster parents, news that may impact foster families, etc. There are links to other sites that will be helpful for foster parents to access, and the calendar of events will list upcoming dates of conferences, etc.

More than anything, we want Arkansas Foster Parents to feel supported! We appreciate the time and love that you give to foster children, and DCFS couldn’t do this without you!

Right now, right here in Arkansas, there are children who need foster parents. Some of them are older and some have brothers and sisters. They have strengths and weaknesses, needs and worries, just like all kids do! What they need right now is a parent like you who can help meet their needs and take care of their problems.
