Arizona's Children Association
Arizona’s Children's Association (AzCA) is the largest foster care provider in the state! We train and support foster care families who can open their hearts and homes to vulnerable children while their biological families are on the mend. We also collaborate with adoption placing agencies to provide a variety of adoption-related services for those seeking to adopt internationally, privately, and from the foster care system.
We believe every individual and family is unique and requires a personalized approach to behavioral healthcare, child welfare services, and preventative support, not a one-size-fits-all solution. We believe there is no “one way” to provide resources and support; instead, everything is catered to your needs, the needs of your family, and the community you are a part of. We believe in genuine interactions where you need them most, including in your home and communities. We want to be there with you on your journey to positive change.

Therapists are underqualified and don't get all the facts from the ones who know the children best.
