Foster Care Provides:

  • A safe home for a child or teen
  • Stability
  • Opportunity for siblings to stay together
  • Opportunity to facilitate the reunification of families

There is no charge to become a foster parent. A fee is charged for adoption services and child & family counseling services. Fees are based on the actual cost of services and may be modified on individual need.

Being a foster parent closely resembles that of any parent providing day-to-day supervision and support for their children in a stable and loving home environment. And yet, foster parenting is different than parenting your own child in so many ways because your foster children will not have the same foundation as the other children you have parented. Some foster parents refer to their role as foster parenting as “parenting plus” or “conscious parenting”. It will not always be the natural parenting styles that you are accustomed to.

We hope you do!! Experienced foster parents see helping a child move on to the place they are meant to be as part of their ministry. This can be hard, but there is deep satisfaction in knowing you have been effective in making a difference in a child’s life. As one family put it, “We know God has His hands on their lives. He brought them to us, we prayed for them, and we know that God will not let our efforts be in vain.” We want you to plant the seeds so that someday – maybe not while they are with you – they may grow!
