Family Foster Care

Journey Home Foster Care works in conjunction with the state of Ohio to recruit, train, monitor, and license foster homes. Children have been removed from their homes due to a death of a primary caregiver, physical/emotional abuse, abandonment, or a lack of appropriate conditions for meeting a child’s needs. The primary focus of the foster care parent is to provide a safe, stable, and nurturing environment for the child while integrating this child into the foster family’s life. This placement could be as short as one night or up to two years while working on reunification with the biological family or through adoption.

What People Say

Testimonials

The Journey Home Foster Care program focuses on three key areas: Recruitment, Training, and Support.

Recruitment
We strive to find high-quality caregivers for the children we serve. The intended result of recruitment is to find a family who is motivated and committed to providing a safe and stable environment for a child. The knowledge and skills of the foster parents are critical to the well-being of the children in their care.
Training
Our training takes a comprehensive approach and requires families to complete pre-service training prior to being licensed as a foster or adoptive home. Families must also complete ongoing training hours to continue their education. Journey Home offers many opportunities for ongoing training and a variety of topics to meet the needs of the families and children that we serve.
Support
After a child is placed with a family, the goal is to provide unequaled support for the entire family. Our experienced and professional case managers are committed and available to the families. They also provide in-home services, identify community resources, and act as the liaison between the family and the CPS caseworker.
