Being a Wisconsin foster parent begins with feeling welcome.
Community Care Resources welcomes everyone to explore being a foster parent in Wisconsin, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
We are actively looking for foster parents who can care for:
- Kids over age 6
- Teens
- Sibling groups
Some youth identify as LGBTQ+ and need affirming homes—but all youth in care need structure, stability, and support.
LGBTQ+ foster parents can work full-time.
- Kimberly and Stephanie live in Waukesha County, and both work full-time. Stephanie works from home as a consultant with the ability to block off time in her schedule for appointments and has flexibility for unplanned interruptions. Her wife, Kimberly, works full-time outside of the home with flexible hours.
- Meg and Stacy are longtime CCR foster parents from Eau Claire County. They have adopted three of their foster children over the years and hope to adopt a child currently placed in their home. Stacy works full-time outside of the house, and Meg is a stay-at-home parent.
- Dan and Ryan live in Winnebago County. Ryan is a teacher, and Dan works full-time and is available at a moment's notice. They are currently caring for an 11-year-old boy.
Foster parenting means adjusting your life around a child’s needs.
- Appointments during the week
- School schedules & breaks
- Family visits
- Therapy and services
- Last-minute changes
