Can you give me some information on foster parenting in Pennsylvania?

Where should I look to get started? What kind of qualifications do you need to have? Any other advice, experiences, etc would be appreciated also.Can you give me some information on foster parenting in Pennsylvania?
You have to be at least 21 years old, pass a medical appraisal, and obtain an ';Act 33 Clearance'; (basically no founded incidents of child abuse allegation in the past 5 years, not a criminal, etc.) The main qualifications are PATIENCE, and LOVE. You must have adequate living space (an actual mattress and bedding for the child, if over 5 years may not share a bedroom with opposite sex), running water, etc.
