Quick Question

For those who know, can transgender people become foster parents?

 

I thought it would be really cool to become a foster parent when I became of age and just wanted to know if it was even possible. Of course I will be doing research on this and if I find the answer I will reply to this.

In the U.S. it depends on your state.  You are flying the State Of Washington flag in your profile and there the answer is yes but it depends on the individual county Public Social Services agency that approves foster homes for the court system.  I have friends in CA who are Trans, and get Trans Kids staying with them for various periods of time.  You might also look at the idea of providing a home for Trans teens who have "aged out" of the normal foster care systems, but who can be eligible for housing assistance from the state or private groups.
