Kid's Crossing, Inc.
Every year children enter the system when their biological parent is unable or unfit to take care of them. Kids Crossing provides foster care in Colorado Springs. As one of the largest fostering agencies in the state, we aim to provide every child in need with a temporary guardian to care for them during these difficult times. One of the main reason a child gets placed into the foster care system is because their parent or guardian has neglected them. By becoming a foster parent, you can help these children get back on their feet. Not only will you be providing them basic necessities like housing and food, but you will also be able to help guide them, love them, and show them the care they deserve and need. Some of the children in the foster system may have experienced abuse in one form or another. By caring for them you will be helping them get through these hard times in their lives.
If you’re looking for the opportunity to change a life, you’ve found it. Kids Crossing helps people just like you become foster parents every day.Even as grown adults, many of us remember what it was like growing up in a stable home, and how that stability helped us mature and grow. But some of us also know what it’s like to not have that stability or a healthy relationship with our parents.

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.

Great place

Amazing counselors. Great resource, especially for those in need of clothing, shoes, baby items and often toys and school supplies too. The therapists I've observed are very caring about their clients and the clients families. More than simply friendly and being therapist for the state as many tend to be. Here they truly care about the families and clients
