Hundreds of thousands of children in the United States need foster parents. We hope that, in time, social services will be able to safely reunite foster kids with their biological families. A caring foster family and loving family members can make a world of difference to a foster child, even if together for only a brief period of time.
Children and youth in foster care need a supportive and loving home where they can safely sleep at night. Many are recovering from the loss, child abuse, or neglect they experienced with their birth families. Kids come into the child welfare system every day. No matter their ages, all children in foster care need a foster family to support them or a forever family to adopt them.
If and when you're ready, there will be thousands of children separated from their birth parents who are awaiting adoption or foster homes. However, the timing and your individual situation must be right to foster or adopt a child. From state requirements and background checks to debunking foster care myths, there is much to consider. We know you need reliable information and answers to decide whether foster care or adoption is right for you.
Wherever you may be on your fostering journey, please share your experience with us. How can we better support your efforts to help foster children and families? Thank you!
