The DCS Inquiry Line is a direct line for potential foster parents. Staff will contact the potential foster parent back to determine if they meet specific requirements in order to begin the training and approval process. From this conversation the potential foster parent will have the information needed to begin PATH training and the approval process. An additional way to submit an inquiry is by going to the DCS Website, complete the inquiry and submit. Regional foster parent staff will contact you to discuss your inquiry further.
