You will want to contact your local Department of Human Services or child Services or whatever they call it where you are..... Many states have websites that give a lot of info..... I use search engines and type "MYState, Foster children" and generally can find the actual website for our state DHS office.
After a few phone calls (or maybe just one) you should be able to be added to your states newsletter for Foster Families and they should send you a packet of paper work and info to review.... You just need to find the right contact person for your state.
