Required in Florida... we were CPR certified by American Heart Association... by a firefighter / emt. Our state is now going to mandate water safety too. All newly licensed foster parents will have to take this class too.

FP to Little Buddy in foster care since 12/07, initial concurrent case plan to reunify family
Mom to felines and avians.. fur and feathers galore
GOAL was changed to ADOPTION on December 18
TPR trial May 28
TPR continuance granted for procedural reasons.
Removed from our home with no notice and placed in other foster home with siblings.
Retained attorney to request change of placement back to our home.
Granted "participant" status - hearings in process to return Little Buddy to our home as non relative care givers.
Three hearings: our reputation and good name raked over the coals. State agency incompetency prevails overall evidence. (Just disgusted)
Judge ruled : remain in current placement. Indicated she didn't want to disrupt him anymore and that likely return to biological mother within two months.
Will not renew my Foster Care agreement.
My heart is broken. Grieving the loss of a child as if he had died suddenly.

Not required when I was licensed in Florida and not part of my relicensing, which I just did.

Only required if you have a pool

Thanks so much for all the information everyone. If there are states that aren't covered yet and anyone knows for sure that would be great. I truly feel that it makes our homes safer for these precious children to have this training. I also don't think it should be optional. It feels good to finally feel like foster parents can have a voice for change.

Thanks Everyone

Infant, child, adult CPR and First Aid was required for us to get licensed for foster care with a private agency. Years back we were licensed for straight adoption and it was not required.
