Foster Families in Need

Foster parenting is not only a form of community service, it is a form of giving and sacrifice that results in the most rewarding experiences one can hope for.

Children in foster care have been removed from their homes due to some form of abuse or neglect that posed a significant risk to their safety. They come from all backgrounds--a variety of social and economic backgrounds, from every race, religion and nationality. Their ages range from infancy to young adult.

These children are not orphans and have experienced significant trauma. Foster parents are trusted to keep children safe while Child Welfare Services works with the biological parents to put services and a plan in place so that children will be safe upon reunification. Only if this plan cannot be achieved is there a possibility of adoption.
