Urgent Need for Foster Families

Date: November 24, 2025

As a community, the Chickasaw Nation treasures our youth and prioritizes their well-being. The Chickasaw Nation Foster Care Program provides First American children with nurturing and culturally appropriate foster homes. However, despite our best efforts, there remain children in our community who need safe and loving foster homes.

Citizens can apply with Chickasaw Nation Family Preservation Services to become foster parents if they live within Oklahoma. Foster parents can be single, married, divorced or widowed. Other eligibility requirements apply.

To address this critical need for homes, the Chickasaw Nation is also offering employees Individual Development Plan (IDP) program credit for becoming foster care parents.
