Foster Parent

For children unable to reunite with their biological families, long-term foster care offers a structured path to stability. Families interested in providing ongoing care receive specialized training to support children through transitions. This process prioritizes continuity in relationships, allowing children to build trust in a stable home. Support is provided to ensure families understand the emotional needs of foster children.

Key aspects of long-term foster care include:

• Age range of children – While infants are occasionally placed, most children in foster care range from toddlers to 21 years old, with a median age of eight.
• Trauma-informed training – Foster parents complete specialized training to understand trauma effects and provide supportive care.
• Minimal costs – Becoming a foster parent typically involves little to no expenses for families.
