In Los Angeles alone, there are over 24,000 children who need a place to call home. Many of these children have experienced trauma, abuse, and neglect. With your help, these babies, toddlers, and children can begin to heal. They can know what it feels like to be loved.
We welcome resource (formerly foster) families and forever families of all backgrounds including those who identify as LGBTQ+ and households with one adult. All you need is a stable home environment and a love for children.
Family is the foundation of a child’s emotional well-being. As a resource or adoptive family, we want to make sure you are supported. You will receive 30 hours of intensive, interactive training and consistent home visits from our loving team members. We work with you to troubleshoot if any issues arise. We help you navigate the journey from a resource family to a forever family

Requirements to become a foster parent
Many do not realize the need for new resource families in California. The number of foster kids outnumber the foster families who can provide short or long-term care. Foster advocates work hard to find places for these children, but it is not easy.
The latest 2021 report from the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS) report in California says there are:
- 47,871 kids in California's foster care system
- 22,892 who entered foster care
- 15,386 foster kids awaiting adoption
- California foster kids across all ages, with a median of 8 years
- 33% whose foster child case plans include adoption
A child's median time in the California foster care system is over a year at 16.8 months. 13% spend 3-4 years in foster care.
California needs foster parents to take in multiple children if they have the time and energy to care for them. Sibling groups often need care, and it is essential to support these family bonds. In California, it is challenging to find homes for teenagers, though they need stable environments and reliable adults to support them.

All they do is lock children in seclusion. I don't think that is a very reliable way to discipline students with special needs. They also broke my wrist and the nurse said it was fine. DO NOT ENROLL YOUR CHILD IN THERE!
