Thank you for your interest in becoming a foster parent with Berkshire! We cannot wait to

begin this journey with you!

​

Foster parent information sessions are for those interested in learning more about the need for foster, respite, or kinship families in their county and the steps required to becoming a foster parent. GPS II/MAPP certification courses are a 10 week program required for prospective foster and adoptive parents.
