The best place for a child is in a home
Foster Care & Adoption
Casa de los Niños provides the best experience for foster families and those seeking adoption certification by providing timely information, emotional support and encouragement.
Becoming a foster parent takes time and commitment, and we are here to help.
Foster families play a vital role in helping children who have experienced trauma by:
- Providing a stable, loving home
- Supporting the biological family to help them heal and grow
- Working in partnership with other professionals to meet the child’s unique needs
- Patiently addressing the child’s medical, behavioral and emotional needs
- Attending trainings to develop and maintain skills relevant to foster care
Are you Interested in Becoming a Foster Parent?
Casa de los Niños hosts a meet & greet on the 4th Tuesday of every month from 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM where you can ask questions and learn more about the process.
We welcome single and two-parent families and have no restrictions based on religious beliefs, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. We provide extensive support to families who are raising relative children.
