Foster Care and Adoption

Foster Care and Adoption

Catholic Charities foster care program helps qualified individuals and couples become licensed foster parents. Our case managers facilitate the initial training and continue to provide ongoing training, resources and support. We recruit and support foster parents, therapeutic foster parents, kinship foster parents and unaccompanied minor foster parents.

People say that difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations. This is especially true when it comes to being a foster parent. Fostering comes with its fair share of uncertainty and heartbreak, but the rewards are beyond comparison.

When parents welcome a child from foster care into their home, they also open their homes to the Department of Child Safety (DCS), licensing workers, and the child’s biological parents. This level of relationship-building and emotional involvement isn’t easy, but it’s rewarding beyond compare.
