You probably will need to be licensed through your state department of human services. There are many divisions in that overall department. Try contacting a representative in Child Protective Services. You could call a shelter - homeless shelter or women's abuse shelter and tell them of your desires and ask how you would go about doing this? Some people do have safe homes they set up and it is not related to the state. But you need to do some homework where you live and find out all the rules and legalities of this.

You want to provde a loving and caring and safe environment for children who have gotten nothing but a hard time. That is wonderful. I really hope you succeed.
