Jonathan's Place

“”How long does the licensing process take?” “What kind of background checks are required?””Is there financial support available to help cover a child’s needs?”🤔

When you are considering opening your heart and home to foster care, it is completely natural to have a long list of questions. In fact, we encourage it! Becoming a foster parent is a journey that requires careful thought, preparation, and the right information to help you make the best decision for your family.

At Jonathan’s Place, we believe in radical transparency. We don’t want you to feel overwhelmed by the unknown, which is why we’ve mapped out the entire licensing process—from the initial background checks and home study to our free, specialized trauma-informed training modules. We are here to answer the hard questions, debunk the myths, and provide you with a 24/7 support network once a child enters your care. You have the questions; we have the answers.

Don’t let uncertainty stop you from answering the call. Explore our comprehensive Foster Care FAQ page and take your first step today: https://www.jpkids.org/our-programs/foster-care/

BeTheVillage ChildWelfare DFWCommunity”

“As we start the month of July, our hearts are completely overflowing with gratitude for our incredible community. 🤝

We talk a lot about the children we house, protect, and counsel, but none of that life-changing work happens in a vacuum. It takes a dedicated village of monthly donors, corporate partners, volunteer mentors, weekend campus wrappers, and tireless foster parents to keep the engine of Jonathan’s Place running smoothly 365 days a year.

Real, systemic change in the child welfare system happens when everyday people decide that local kids are worth fighting for. Whether you gave a one-time financial donation, shared our posts to raise awareness, or signed up for a foster care licensing class this month—you are actively rewriting a child’s story. Thank you for standing with us.

The work never pauses, and neither does our commitment. Stay connected with our mission all year long by subscribing to our monthly email newsletter via the link in our bio!
