Do you have to be 18 or 21 to foster a child in Florida?

I've seen both age requirements depending on what Foster Website I'm on.

18 you can foster family but general foster parents is 21

I think 21 years old not to sure though but it would make more sense to me why would the state allow you to be 18 when they dont want 18 year olds to have babies at thatt age anyhow it will be a tough job

im not sure, the only way to find out is deciding on what place you are using. you can go to the nearest orphanage to find out what their requirements are or u can go on the website you found and go with wat they say. it can be different depending on where you go
