I live in North Carolina and was a foster parent for several years. It was not required of me to be a foster parent in order to adopt an older child in the foster care system, however the training required was the same as fostering. We were strongly encouraged to become foster parents even though we were looking to adopt only. It was beneficial in helping with the costs of our older children's therapy which can be quite expensive when dealing with attachment issues!
