“I had the best experience! I was nervous about completing the process, but my Family Evaluation Specialist walked me through every step. I’m not the most tech savvy person, but she was able to guide me. I received my 1st placement and It has been such a rewarding experience. I know this is my purpose and I’m thankful I didn’t let fear hold me back.”

"I will refer anyone who desires to become a foster parent to Georgia Mentor. The support I have received through the approval process and even after approval has been incredible."

“Being a foster parent allows me the opportunity to provide a loving, nurturing and safe environment for children in need.
