Yes, foster parents receive a monthly stipend to help cover the costs of caring for a child. However, supplemental income is required. This is not payment for being a foster parent but reimbursement for expenses like food, clothing, and activities. The foster care stipend cannot be a primary source of income.

Fostering can be a rewarding experience for your entire family, teaching compassion and social responsibility. We provide support to help all family members adjust, including your biological children. We recommend open conversations about fostering before beginning the process.
