I Would Like To… Foster A Child Kansas

Kansas

Through the Kansas Department for Children and Families, Eckerd Connects provides foster care services in Wichita and surrounding communities. There are thousands of kids and teens currently in the Kansas foster care system. They are in need of loving foster parents who can give them a safe and welcoming home that can provide them with temporary care.

Eckerd Connects offers free foster parent training to interested individuals and couples living in Wichita, KS and surrounding communities. If you want to impact the life of a child in care, we encourage you to contact us today.

Steps to foster

  1. Get started by completing the form below. Or, contact our Wichita office at fosteringks@eckerd.org or by calling toll-free at (855) 686-7474.
  2. Attend a free orientation session that will explain what is needed to become a foster parent and answer your questions.
  3. Get trained at no cost to you. You’ll learn about children in foster care, the trauma they might have faced, working with biological parents, understanding developmental stages and behaviors, and everything else you need to be successful.
  4. Become licensed to ensure that you, your family and your home are prepared and safe.
  5. Begin being a foster parent and providing a child with a second chance!
