Bridges Child Placement Agency
Bridges’ Foster Homes are actively positive places where open affection, mutual respect, and interdependent responsibility are everyday practices; clear communication is valued and demonstrated, and discipline is consistent, intentional, and caring. Bridges’ Foster Parents become encouragers, mentors, and teachers for children in care and their parents.
Bridges carefully screen our families, seeking those that are up to the challenge of living life with children from difficult places. We seek strong, healthy families that know, or are willing to find out, that this service is a reward unto itself. While the tangible rewards are few in this work, the intangibles are many. It is internally known and experienced that brings the most fulfillment to fostering. While you may not see, hear, or touch it, becoming a foster family allows you to experience the satisfaction of reaching out in love in a big way to others in your community.
Bridges staff members bring a high level of service in supporting these fantastic families in their fostering efforts and have great passion. They understand how demanding and stressful fostering can be for a family and provide a listening ear and practical advice to help minimize these effects on our foster families.

Prospective foster families can contact a Colorado child placement agency or your local Department of Human Services. Social workers in these child welfare agencies will provide information about Colorado's child welfare system, foster care, and the adoption process.
Social workers recommended that other adults and children in your home agree to provide long-term home care, too. If everyone is ready to welcome a new child, your local agency will help your home become an approved foster home.
