Courage Community Foster Care
Courage Community is a private child placement agency licensed by the Colorado Department of Human Services. We work to certify families for foster care and adoption in the Denver metro area, El Paso County and surrounding areas, and the rural communities of Eagle, Lake, and Summit counties. Kerri and Megan work as a team to walk each family through the certification process and will be with you every step of the way as your family decides which children might be the best match for you. You will never be pressured to accept a child you are uncomfortable with; we are steered by your preferences and strengths as a family.
We will provide supervision and guidance, act as advocates for your family, and be a liaison between you and the Department of Human Services, who will retain legal custody of the children you care for. We receive referrals for up to 20 children each business day, from various counties in Colorado.

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.
