Looking to Foster in MO to save kid from bad living situation

The first step is to call child protective services and have his living situation investigated. I would then express your interest in fostering him. They should be able to help you get certified to take him.

First of all, call CPS. 800-392-3738Second, you have to become a licensed foster care provider. This takes time. Months. You have to attend the class, do homestudies, get a medical checkup, and have a background check, with prints taken. It took us about 3 months start to finish, but others were faster.We went through an agency and we love them. Nothing against the state agency, but the caseworkers at ou agency seem much more attentive and less overworked compared to the state workers. Pm me for information about my agency if you are interested
