The Illinois Dept. of Children and Family Services has an on-going initiative of recruiting licensed foster parents for DCFS wards whose origins is the DeKalb County Area. Across the DeKalb County their exist a shortage of licensed caretakers and as a result some youths have had to be placed in or near the surrounding counties such as Cook, Lake, Winnebago, McHenry, DuPage and Whiteside counties etc. Here at the DCFS Field Office located at 760 Peace Road in DeKalb, IL recruitment efforts continues to be on-going where information of the referral process is provided to anyone who has an interest in becoming a licensed foster parent.
If anyone would like more information about becoming a caretaker for the Illinois Foster Care System please call (815) 787-5319 and ask to speak to William Hart the DCFS Recruitment & Resource Specialist. His office has free pamphlets, brochures and flyers printed in Spanish and English to pass out Monday to Friday between the hours of 8:30 am to 5:00 pm. If you can take pride in the small gains children make and be an advocate for the needs of children, the DCFS office would very much like to talk to you about becoming a licensed foster parent in within the DeKalb County Area.
