Foster Care and Adoption Services

Foster parents play an important role in a child’s life and have the opportunity to provide much-needed love and care. A foster parent is responsible for the temporary care and nurturing of a child who has been removed from his home due to abuse, neglect, and/or abandonment. During a tumultuous time in a child’s life, a foster parent provides a home and family with love and support. Additionally, the foster parent works with the child’s case worker and, in some cases, the child’s biological family to resolve issues and allow the child to have a permanent home.

What are the Qualifications to Become a Foster Parent?

Must be at least 21 years of age;
May be married, single, or divorced

Far too many children have been removed and have lost forever their families through the tragedy of abuse, neglect, or abandonment. These children are of all ages and races. While some are siblings who want to be placed together, others need help to recover from the trauma of their experience prior to coming into care. There is, however, one common thread. They are all in need of loving, nurturing, and committed parents who will love and care for them unconditionally.
