Christ Child House opened in 1948 as a shelter for children whose families were experiencing temporary distress. In 1957 the Henry Ford family donated land & a new House was built on Joy Road. Since opening its doors, CCH has evolved dramatically as the needs of children & families in the community have changed. Over time, it became increasingly apparent that children needed more than a warm meal & a safe place to sleep, as many entering the House were from neglectful & abusive homes. The agency has grown into a sophisticated treatment facility which is widely recognized for its outstanding services to youth in crisis. Currently, we are operating as a 25 bed residential treatment facility, providing intensive services to younger males 5-16.

Requirements to become a foster parent
Parents can access the Michigan Foster Care Portal (MFCP), which is a tool that helps expedite licensure. The portal can track progress and list the next steps a foster parent needs to take. The MFCP also contains FAQs and helpful guides for parents.
In addition to online tools, foster families also receive some financial support. How much they receive depends on the child's age and needs. Parents may also be entitled to additional reimbursement that covers care costs.
Plus, foster families can access many local and state-wide support organizations and advocacy groups. These groups provide resources, answer questions, and are happy to help form connections between foster parents.
Your foster care agency is always there if you have questions or concerns. Their goal is to ensure the child's well-being and assist parents through the fostering process and beyond.
Another path you might want to consider is co-parenting with the birth parents. The end goal in most foster cases is to reunite a child with their parents or primary caregiver. You'll work with the birth parents anyway to set up visitations, and co-parenting can make your job easier.
Working further with the birth parents can also make the entire fostering process less stressful for a child. They won't feel as if they have to "choose" between homes and families.

I lived there for almost a year, and I hated everything/ everyone honestly. I had mad anger issues. But A wise man told me that “only you can predict you’re future cause you’re the one who can control it. If you’re angry let it all go, but use it as motivation to keep moving forward.” I was 16 at the time and now I’m 21 continuing college. I survived my teenage years, now it’s time to start my legacy thanks to Christ child house
P.S much love to all the staff. Joshua Michael Joyner — now Joshua James Hannah
