Yes you can be single and a foster parent. There should be several agencies listed in the phone book. There is the government agency (like Child Protective Services), or private agencies who contract through the government.
Being a foster parent is a good thing, but very often unrewarding. What I mean by that is the benefits of your labor often go unknown by you. There is a big need for good foster parents. Good luck to you!

I stay in the state of SC and the size of the room does not count yet which you do ought to have one greater mattress room for the youngster. As a foster new child the youngster qualifies for the ABC voucher which means the state will pay its daycare fee. It extremely doesnt count what shift you artwork yet what day cares are keen to artwork with you.

I don't know about PA but in CA you can be a single foster parent. Try your local Children's Services and ask about county/state foster parenting.
Good for you! Good luck.
