To adopt a child like like these who is in the custody of the state, you must complete the training and licensing requirements for foster care. Typically, there is little or no cost. MBCH Children and Family Ministries (MBCHCFM) staff can work with you to determine your eligibility and to inform you of the procedures necessary to adopt children in the state foster care system. In many areas of Missouri, MBCHCFM is able to provide the training.
