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 dint work for any one that needs to talk to someone and get info but I guess if your a robot or computer you could talk to them and get the info you are needing. That's why no one gets any help cause we can't talk to anyone .it's always enter 1 for this 2 for that and still no answer to nothing and still talk to no one and if you enter wrong something it hangs up on you ..that a sorry way to put people to work and no one talks to no one and still get paid for it. It's just totally crazy .
