Foster family care licensing requirements set a foundation for what environmental and personal factors are necessary to assure the safety, permanency, and well-being of a child who has been removed from his or her parent(s). Children enter foster family care as a result of circumstances to which they have been exposed. The foster family care licensing requirements support the safety, permanency, and well-being of children by screening and providing support to foster family care applicants to reduce the risk a child being exposed to circumstances that might further trauma experienced by the child. The foster family care licensing requirements support the responsibilities and abilities of a foster parent to provide the child with the most family-like experience and inclusion in normal childhood activities to help him or her reach to his or her fullest potential.
