Visit FAQ Page

  • What Does It Cost To Foster?

    There is no direct fee to foster one of NC's waiting children. However, there are fees related to becoming a licensed foster family, like paying for background checks, CPR, and fingerprints.

  • Is There an Income Requirement?

    Foster care is not seen as income, so you must be able to pay your bills and sustain your household and family, separate from your foster care stipend.

  • Are There Background Check Requirements?

    State law requires NC criminal record checks going back five years. If you have lived in NC for less than five years, you must obtain out-of-state background checks.
