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

Requirements to become a foster parent

You must meet minimum requirements to provide foster care for children in Colorado. Foster parents for children and families must:

  • Be 21 years of age or older
  • Maintain sufficient income to support a family
  • Have physical and mental capability to care for children and youth
  • Pass a child abuse background and criminal background check
  • Work with a treatment team and undergo future training
  • Complete a Home Study

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.
