Foster Care & Adoption Program - Child & Family Services

Works to preserve families by finding temporary homes for children. We help birth and foster parents develop skills to nurture children in safe, loving home environments. Provides services to parents to help them acquire the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to parent their children safely and reunite their family. When this is not possible, the program provides safe and permanent homes for children through adoption. Also recruits, screens, trains, and supports foster and adoptive parents.
