In California, there are 55,000 children in foster care; over 50% of those children reside in Los Angeles County. Children are placed in foster care when they are experiencing a personal or family crisis and are no longer safe at home. Foster Care is meant to be a temporary solution, but in some cases, children are adopted or remain in foster care until they become adults and “age out” of the foster care system.
Every two minutes another child enters foster care and as these numbers continue to grow, so does the need for foster families. The Foster Care and Adoption Agency at David & Margaret equips families with the knowledge, skills, training, and support needed to help youth thrive while in foster care.
The Foster Care and Adoption Agency (FFA) at David & Margaret works in collaboration with Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside counties to place children awaiting homes with approved foster families.

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.

This review is of the Bargain Boutique at the David & Margaret Youth Home. This is a remainder bargain store with food items which have aged off of market shelves. It is a place that if you know what you're planning on with it, you can save quite a bit of money. Breads are from local markets - almost all of it a couple days old, but still fresh, and typically around 50 cents a package.
They also have non-food items such as housewares and clothing - come late spring, they tend to have a large number of dresses suitable for prom, most under $10, a great option if you're on a budget.
You should bring your own bags (sometimes they charge 10 cents per plastic bag if you do not). The boutique is on the main floor (half a level up from ground level) and is open 7 days a week, some days with limited hours. Well worth the time visiting.

It's a great smart boutique to get some snacks for the kiddos.. Just check the expiration dates on the food. Yet it benefits the kids for all their programs.
