I am a former cradle care mom. I did it for 13 yrs at an adoption agency.

Not many agencies do it so I'd suggest calling several in your area and see if they have a cradle care program.

I loved cradling but my location was an hour away from the agency and the past few years I was just not busy enough. So this summer we switched to fostering for our county - and we are plenty busy .

We had to have just as much training as foster parents do - so your journey to become a cradle care parent is pretty much the same as becoming a foster parent.
