Sunrise Children's Services
Sunrise Children’s Services provides care and hope for hurting families and children through Christ-centered ministries.
Sunrise Children’s Services , Inc. is a historic 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Since 1869, this nonprofit ministry has continuously affiliated with Kentucky Baptists. Today, Sunrise provides therapeutic foster care, residential therapeutic treatment, and community-based services statewide; and its family services program is licensed by the Commonwealth of Kentucky as a Behavioral Health Services Organization (BHSO).
On any given day, there are more than 400,000 children in foster care in the United States. Despite the common perception that the majority of children in foster care are very young, the average age of a child in care is around 8-9 years old.

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.

Sunrise is amazing. In this day and age it’s hard to find a truely Christian organization. Sunrise is that organization for the Owensboro area. Their staff are always professional, kind and friendly. Internally the organization treats their employees well and that too is uncommon. Sunrise we support you!
