Social Media

Inner Circle Foster Care & Adoption Services was organized to address the growing deficit of services to troubled children and families in our community. We believe every individual has the intrinsic right to have their basic needs met in a respectful, supportive manner. Families deserve every reasonable opportunity to preserve their family unit. Recognizing that the family is the foundation of our community, we believe that children who live in nurturing, stable environments will mature into healthy, productive members of society. Inner Circle is a small to medium sized agency that knows each of our families. As an agency we are dedicated to maintaining a warm and welcoming family feel. Inner Circle is responsive to the needs and questions of our families. Calls, texts, and emails are returned and have an excellent reputation with the State of California, Community Care Licensing, Department of Children and Family Services, and our surrounding communities.

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.

Fostering is on of the most personal of not THE most personal thing in life. To meet a lady over Skype and see other prospective foster parents over Skype, without knowing any background check or anything about these people...is fishy. We went for one evening and spend 3 hours and found it the most bizarre thing ever. Only 1 Yelp review from Palmdale and it's a shady one....not sure what this place is really about
