FOSTER CARE/ ADOPTION PARENT CHECKLIST Thank you for your interest in becoming a foster or adoptive parent. The willingness of people like you to help Arizona’s children is part of what makes our State great! The first step is to view the five-part orientation video series. If you have not yet viewed all five videos, or if you want to watch the videos again, you can find them here.
Your next step in the process is to select the licensing agency with whom you wish to work. Remember, you need to select an agency based on the county where you live. You can use this Matrix to find agencies in your county. DCS encourages prospective foster and adoptive parents to interview several licensing agencies before making a final decision. It’s important to find an agency with whom you are comfortable because they will be asking you deeply personal questions and will frequently be in your home. As a reminder, here’s the link to our tips for selecting an agency. We know this is a big decision. At any time throughout the process, you can email us with questions at FosterAdoption@azdcs.gov or call us at 1-877 KIDS-NEEDU (1-877-543-7633). We’re happy to talk with you during business hours, or you can leave us a message and we’ll call you back.

Hello African American community!
Arizona Complete Health has partnered with the Arizona Department of Health Services, Arizona Department of Emergency Management, ASU, and the Arizona Diamondbacks to help get the new drive-thru vaccine site at Phoenix Municipal Stadium up and running. Our role in the partnership is to help recruit clinical and non-clinical volunteers to staff the site.
On Saturday, March 6, we are hosting a special volunteer event – Communities of Color Coming Together to Beat COVID. Tempe Mayor Corey Woods will be our guest and will participate as a volunteer. As you know, there is high vaccine hesitancy rates in Black and Brown communities, so we want to come out and say communities of color are coming together to raise awareness, to support one another, look after our neighbors, volunteer and get the vaccine when it’s our turn.
We really need your help in getting the opportunity communicated out to the community such as, D9 organization chapters in the valley, and affiliate organizations. NPHC organizations, HBCU alumni, and other Black Affiliate Professional Associations, the Coalition of Blacks Against Breast Cancer, Black Nurses Association, including Tucson and other leaders and organizations.
In addition to Mayor Woods, I would love to have a strong showing from African American leaders in attendance to actually volunteer a full 6-hour shift and then receive the vaccination at the end of your shift. All volunteers receive the vaccine at the end of their shift. I would also like to have a good number of you to be part of the morning shift 6am-12noon, which is when Mayor Woods will be there. We are working to get media coverage. We’d also like to celebrate Vice President Kamala Harris connection to the AKAs, vaccine roll out and her receiving the shot. There will also be Latino organizations, such as CPLC, Hispanic Nurses Association, Equality Health and other organizations in attendance.
The volunteer shifts are:
The volunteer duties for non-clinical and clinical can include checking in patients, volunteers, confirming appointments, scheduling second dose appointments, directing traffic, administering vaccines and so on.
Next steps:
Please email me directly tina.m.brown@azcompletehealth.com your name and email address. I can fill 50 slots and we’ll also be in need of clinical – those who can administer the shots. Once I have all, AZ Complete Health will send everyone instructions of what they need to do to sign up. Please feel free to pass on to others that might be interested in volunteering
