I only fostered through an agency and it was a great experience but every state is different. We talked with people fostering through our agency and that helped me see I was making the right decision. We first found the agency by going to an adoption fair and asking lots of questions.
By going through the agency this is what we noticed
- we were paid a little more
-they also provided money for extras
-they did our training one on one and we very much needed that flexibility
- i loved having a liaison that was on my side
- they were super nice and always concerned about us and how we were holding up
The only drawback with our agency did not get many kids from our county into care so the kids we did have were form surrounding counties- LOTS of driving for visits, etc!
So I'd do lots of research, find out how everything works in your state.
