to reach the nation with God's call to care for orphans

Can I still be a foster parent if I am single? Rent a home? Have a criminal record?

You will need to discuss the details of your criminal record with your state foster care specialist; however, any history of crimes against children will almost certainly disqualify you from foster parenting.
