Koinonia Adoption Services
There is nothing more rewarding in this world than helping a child in need.
Being a Koinonia parent means you will be a part of an organization with very high standards and expertise in helping children in need. Children in foster care have been exposed to various forms of trauma and we need you to work with us and help these children. As a Koinonia parent you might be the first person in their life to truly love and care for them.
This is not always easy, but you will have a team of individuals to help you along the way. All of our children have individualized plans that are established to best serve the child. We work together as a team to provide hope and healing to the children in our care. These children need loving and patient parents and we ask that you consider becoming a child’s greatest hope.

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.
