Is It Possible to Adopt Siblings Together Through Foster Care?

For a child in a foster home, their brother or sister is their closest connection to family and stability. So, is it possible to adopt siblings together through foster care? Yes. Ohio agencies, such as Open Arms Adoptions, make every effort to place siblings together whenever possible.

Are There Income Requirements to Adopt from Foster Care?

You may have heard that foster care adoption is expensive or that you need a high income to qualify, but is that really true? Many hopeful parents worry that their finances might disqualify them before they even begin. Foster care adoption is more accessible than most think.

Do You Have to Be a Foster Parent Before You Can Adopt?

If you’ve been considering adopting a child from foster care, you’ve likely wondered if you have to be a foster parent before you can adopt. This is a common point of confusion for many hopeful parents.
