Alabama Statewide Foster Care Information Line
To a child, the world can sometimes seem like an uphill battle. But to a child that’s been abused, neglected, or faces developmental or emotional problems, the world can almost seem like it is out to get them. Fortunately, you can make a world of difference when you open your home to care for a child. Because you not only foster a child’s growth and happiness, you foster a brighter future – for all of us.
Right now in Alabama, there are hundreds of children that need foster care. Some simply need foster care for a matter of days. Others may need foster care until they are reunited with their biological family or a plan is made for them to be adopted. But all of them share the need for a caring, committed environment that can bring them the future they deserve.

This was honestly painstaking before I spoke with a representative named Jay or Jade, I believe? They were so helpful and were attentive the entire time. They even took the time out to personally make sure my card was going to be sent out. Not everyone is in it just for the money. I could tell they actually cared for my well-being and that’s priceless. Thank you.

If only I could leave negative stars. This place has sucked for MANY years! People don't care and are just there to get a check.
