How do I get information about becoming a foster parent?

 Your local Department of Social Services (DSS) will be able to assist you if you’re interested in becoming a foster parent for one or more of New York State’s needy children. Visit our website to find specific addresses and telephone numbers to your DSS or consult your local telephone directory. In New York City, contact the Administration for Children’s Services, or call (212) 676-WISH.
