How much does it cost to become a treatment foster parent in Virginia?
There is no charge for a foster family home license. However, some families might incur minor costs involved in getting their home into compliance with licensing standards.

Yes, a respite home is a foster home in which a child stays from one to ten days. This may be planned respite or on an emergency basis.
