The lack of clarity and financial strain imposed on agency parents through additional requirements and costs create an inequitable situation. Mandatory monthly classes, annual training, and certification fees are considerable financial burdens for agency parents. This financial strain disproportionately affects their ability to meet basic needs and provide quality care for their children. To foster equity and support agency parents, it is crucial to establish clear guidelines, streamline the training process, and provide financial assistance for certification expenses. Addressing these concerns will ensure agency parents are not subjected to undue financial hardship while fulfilling their caregiving responsibilities.
