Foster Care

Foster and adoptive parents are special people who open their hearts and homes to children in our community who can no longer stay with their families for a variety of reasons. Our foster homes are a temporary placement and last resort after trying all other options to assure the child’s safety. Our foster parents’ willingness to open their homes to children in care assures a safe, temporary, and loving home environment while allowing the children to maintain connections to their families and communities.
