The goal of the Foster Care Program is to ensure that placements facilitate and maintain family ties, are in the best interest of the child, and meet the provisions of the Department of Child and Family Services (DCFS) Foster Care Contract. Our mission is to provide diverse services that inspire people to improve the quality of their lives in their greatest time of need.
Central to our philosophy of care is advocacy for peace and justice. We believe in the inalienable human right to live and work safely, free from violence, oppression, and abuse. We are guided by the principle that people have the right to self-determination as we join them on their journey of healing. We strive to instill hope through client-centered services provided in a safe and confidential environment

Requirements to become a foster parent
You must meet minimum requirements to provide foster care for children in Illinois. To become a foster parent, you must:
- Be at least 21 years old
- Attend foster parent orientation
- Pass a background check
- Finish 30 hours of foster parent training
- Complete the Home Study
- Provide at least three references
- Clear a physical exam
- Maintain financial stability
Foster families must be able to provide a safe and comfortable home for a child. You must provide room for the child to have a bed and enough space for personal belongings.
Foster parents do not need to be married or have a partner. However, if married, couples must show a stable marriage of at least one year before they can foster a child in Illinois.
Foster parents need to meet a child's basic care needs, such as providing meals and clothing. Foster families must also support a foster child's education and assist them in developing social skills.
Contact the DCFS or a local licensed child-placing agency to learn more or begin the fostering approval process.

My ex called saying she was kicked out by a place that was suppose to help her. They gave her no phone call or nothing. She got off work & was told she had to exit the building

I donate to a lot of women’s shelters but this is the only one to ONLY accept new clothes with the tag still on them. Makes me sad I have unused tagless toddler clothes by the load and no one from this charity will have access to it. I was a domestic violence survivor and I would’ve done anything for warm clothes on my kids. We didn’t care about tags. 🚩 we are donating to morning star mission if any mom who needs 2t-3t boys girls clothes I know how it feels to leave everything behind. 🫶🏼 to get to safety

Wants to take children and go home there own. How bout I take your child. How would you feel. I’ve been an orphan before yet they talk like it’s ok and normal. Not here to help but destroy families. They pretend to be your friend but really be careful cause they nothing but enemy.
