How to Become a Foster Parent in Chippewa County

Chippewa County foster parents are needed.

There is an urgent need for foster parents in Chippewa County. A shortage of foster homes means we can place just a fraction of the kids referred to us in safe, loving homes. Our greatest need is homes for siblings and kids over age 5. If you live in Chippewa County and are ready to take the first step, we would love to talk with you.

Why do foster parents in Chippewa choose CCR?

Foster parents require reliable, consistent support, available at all times, whether it’s 10pm or on a Sunday afternoon. Our Chippewa team is committed to helping and supporting you while you care for children. It takes a team effort and an agency that fulfills its promises to support you throughout your fostering journey. CCR offers that and 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.
