We were trained in Texas and our classes took 5 weeks because we went twice a week. The training is so necessary even though we have been parents for 17 years. Foster children have their own set of issues and it is imperative as a foster parent that you know how to help. You also MUST know the laws regarding foster care as you are liable for what happens in your home to other people's children.

The classes were long and I didn't love every single one of them. However, education is so important on something this crucial.

Good luck!
