Bellewood & Brooklawn Louisville
Bellewood & Brooklawn came together in 2012 with the merger of Bellewood Home for Children and Brooklawn Child & Family Services, two organizations that now have a more than 170 year history. In their beginnings, both grew from the desire of a committed few to nurture and provide for children who needed help most.
Through growth, change, and ultimately partnership, the organizations that now form Bellewood & Brooklawn continue to uphold that philosophy in all they do to provide greater care for vulnerable children and their families throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
Our Vision - Healing the hearts and minds of vulnerable youth and their families.

Requirements to become a foster parent
You'll still have support and guidance when you receive a foster placement. Kentucky has continued training and can connect new foster parents with experienced families through the Foster Parent Mentor Program.
Having access to an experienced foster family is invaluable. You'll be able to connect with other adults who have advice and can provide coaching to make your parenting journey easier.
Your local child-placing agency is one of your best sources of information and foster parenting services.
Nonprofit child welfare organizations approved by the state recruit resource parents, provide resources, and offer training and general support. When you attend the informational orientation and parent training, you'll receive books and resources that tell you more about the many available foster parent support groups.

I love the work this place does. If you get the tight cottage you can see great things happen for your child.
