Why Fredericksburg Needs Foster Families
Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania County together have more than 115 children in foster care, and nearly 50 of them are waiting to be adopted, according to the More Than Enough foster care data project (Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania).
When there aren't enough foster families nearby, children can be placed far from their schools, friends and families. Every new foster family in the Fredericksburg area helps a child stay close to home.

We don't have any biological children of our own so my husband and I feel like this is what we are called to do.
How to Get Started
01
Fill out the qualification form
The first step is completing an inquiry or qualification form. This allows the Intercept Health team to learn more about your interest in becoming a foster parent and answer any initial questions.
It only takes a few minutes. A member of our Stafford team will follow up, usually within one to two weeks.
02
Attend an information session and meet the team
After submitting an inquiry, you will meet with members of our Treatment Foster Care team. This meeting provides an opportunity to learn more about the program and determine if fostering is the right fit for you.
Learn how treatment foster care works and what the commitment looks like, then complete your application with our Stafford team.
03
Complete training and your home study
Training helps foster parents develop the knowledge and skills needed to support youth with emotional and behavioral challenges. Training topics often include trauma-informed care, behavior management strategies, and communication techniques.
Most families are certified in about 3 to 6 months, because training, the home study and paperwork can all happen at the same time.
