Lutheran Family Services Rocky Mountains
At LFSRM, we believe there is no such thing as “other people’s kids.” Through our Foster Care Program, we work diligently with our families to support them through the foster process and beyond. We provide skilled, caring substitute families for children unable to live with their birth families. Most children in foster care have been abused or neglected. Foster families provide children in foster care with a safe, nurturing home. In addition, they work with LFSRM staff to address each child’s individual needs. We provide the support, you provide a stable home, structure, and love.
Each year in Colorado, thousands of children are unable to live with their biological parents because of abuse or neglect. Some of these children have witnessed domestic violence. Many have never experienced a birthday party or a sleepover with friends. Too many don’t know from day to day whether they will have a meal or a place to sleep.
By opening your heart and your home, you can restore hope for a child in foster care as they wait to reunite with their family or to join a new family through adoption

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.

Not going to lie I wasn't sure what to expect coming into my visit at Lutheran. These past few months have been the most challenging of my entire life. My expectations were blown away. The entire staff at Lutheran were all incredibly kind,professional, and courteous. Truly a breath of fresh air in the middle of my ongoing situation. I was blown away with how many fun activities and toys they had for the kids and I to enjoy. The lady who was specifically with us for the visitation was absolutely fantastic. Both of my children and I had an absolute blast. Sincerely, thank you guys from the bottom of my heart.
