寄养 and 采用

Thank you for your interest in 365买球app下载’s children, and our foster care and 采用 programs.

There are currently approximately 25 children living in out-of-home care in 365买球app下载.

There is no “typical” child who comes into care. The children are boys and girls of all ages and from all ethnic backgrounds. They enter the foster care system.

Our primary goal is reuniting children with their parents and families. However, some children and youth will need a permanent 领养家庭. Feel free to call and inquire about being a foster or adoptive parent.

寄养 information

Family foster homes provide temporary substitute care for children, from birth through 18, who have been removed from their families due to physical, sexual or emotional abuse, 忽视, or the parent is otherwise unavailable.

Foster parents offer day-to-day care and guidance until the child can be reunited with his or her birth family, move to a kinship family or permanent adoptive home or emancipate.

Caseworkers work closely with foster parents to identify and meet the special needs of the child(ren).The children are covered by Medicaid insurance and the foster parents are given a monthly stipend to help reimburse the cost of care.

Foster family 采用

If it is determined that a child cannot return to his or her birth family home, 365买球app下载 Department of 人类服务 is responsible for finding a permanent home.

Permanency can be achieved by permanent custody with kin, or 采用. In cases where the birth parents are unable to make changes and cannot protect and care for their child, parental rights may be relinquished or terminated. The child then needs a permanent family through 采用.

Foster families who are interested in adopting are called Foster-Adopt Families. These families give their hearts to a child, not knowing if the child will be returning to a birth family or if he or she will become legally free for 采用.

While some of our Foster-Adopt placements result in finalized 采用s, it is important to understand that this outcome is not guaranteed. Again, Foster-Adopt parenting is about the child. For a child’s sake, consider taking the risk!
