Who can be a foster parent?
You can be single or married; rent or own; have biological children or no children; work from home or have a full-time job outside of the home.
Won’t I get too attached?
It’s hard to love a child and let them go, but that sadness is coupled with the joy of knowing the role you played in the child being reunited with their family. Many foster families maintain relationships with biological families after the child returns home.
How long do children stay with you?
Foster care is, by nature, temporary. It might be a few days, a few weeks, or months.
Where do the kids come from?
Most of the children and families we serve come from our local communities.
