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.

Nicole Barrier decided to foster to grow her family. Now, years later, she shares her experience as a foster parent with Catholic Charities.

Clayton and Jenny aren’t your typical fairy tale story, but they feel like they are on their way to happily ever after. Not long ago they were on similar paths, even though they didn’t know each other yet. They were addicted to drugs, Clayton was homeless, and they both had children in custody of the Department of Child Safety (DCS).

That all changed when they were referred to Arizona Families F.I.R.S.T. (Families in Recovery Succeeding Together, also known as AFF). Catholic Charities is contracted to provide services through AFF.
