There are more than 500,000 children in the United States who have been removed from their homes. All of them deserve to have a family that loves and protects them. Could you offer your home and love to just one needy child?
Adelphoi’s foster care program offers these children a stable, structured environment, ensuring their physical and emotional safety while away from their families. Our foster parents work as part of a treatment team where permanency and treatment plans are developed for youth in conjunction with the courts, the natural family, and Adelphoi. Through ongoing training and support, Adelphoi Village provides foster parents with the tools to deal with situations they may encounter.
The foster family’s primary responsibility is to guide, love, and discipline the youth as she/he progresses in overall development. Our ultimate goal is to reunite the family unit.
We help youth who are at-risk, abused, neglected, delinquent, and struggling with academic or behavioral issues recover from crisis & difficult circumstances.

Requirements to become a foster parent
You must meet minimum requirements to provide foster care in Pennsylvania. Foster parents for children in need must:
- Be a minimum of 21 years old
- Pass a criminal background check with fingerprinting
- Have time and energy to devote to fostering
- Live in a safe and healthy environment
- Prove good health through a medical examination/physical
- Maintain financial stability
- Clear all home safety requirements
- Complete required pre-service training hours
- Finish the Home Inspection
After fulfilling all requirements during the approval process, licensed foster parents can welcome a foster child into their home. To maintain a valid license, foster parents must also participate in ongoing training each year.
All adults who are living in homes with foster children in Pennsylvania must pass a required criminal background check and fingerprinting. This includes adult children who are family members living at home.
There are other, more detailed requirements for foster homes, such as having a flushing toilet and an operable phone. Prospective foster parents will learn more details during foster parent orientation.
Once you've decided to foster, you can contact a public or private foster agency or the Pennsylvania State Resource Family Association. Foster agencies screen and train prospective foster families and ensure applicants are good candidates for foster care.

I did overnights for Adelphi village. The pay was excellent because all we did was head count on the kids, laundry, counted meds, and did some clean up from the day shift when needed to. The managers where excellent and you were part of the team. If you needed help with something they were their to help you the managers and your co workers. There was a lot of mandating every day due to many people quitting or not showing up on time.
