Become a foster parent in Brown County, Wisconsin

Foster parents are needed in Brown County.

The need for more foster parents in Brown County continues to rise as we receive a record number of monthly referrals for sibling groups and older kids. A shortage of foster homes means we can place just a fraction of the kids referred to us in safe, loving homes.

Whether it is 10 pm or a Sunday afternoon, our Brown County team will be available to help and support you while caring for children. Additionally, all CCR foster parents in Brown County receive weekly in-home visits from their assigned Case Manager. These home visits offer open dialogue and communication about the week's successes and areas where additional support may be needed.

It takes a team approach and an agency that keeps its promises to support you along your fostering journey. CCR will offer you that and so much more.

Foster Care Questions & Answers

Can foster parents have pets?

Absolutely. Your pets will need to be up to date on vaccines, and a pet's temperament will be discussed if there is a concern.

Can I choose the age of children I want to foster?

Foster parents can choose their preferred age range. However, if you wish to foster younger children, CCR asks for a minimum age range of 0-10 years, including openness to siblings. The greatest need across Wisconsin is more homes for young siblings and teens.

What is it like parenting kids with trauma?

Parenting children and youth who have lived through trauma is hard. Their past abuse, neglect, and chaos often show up as big emotions, challenging behaviors, and deep mistrust. Traditional parenting approaches don’t work. CCR foster parents need flexibility, patience, and a willingness to meet kids in their hardest moments so they can finally feel safe—and begin to heal. Our team will support you 24/7.

How much does it cost to become a Wisconsin foster parent?

There is NO cost to become a Wisconsin foster parent.

How long does it take to get a foster license with CCR?

Absolutely. Your pets will need to be up to date on vaccines, and a pet's temperament will be discussed if there is a concern.
