Foster Care

Fostering a Sense of Belonging

Traditional Foster Care

Imagine a child who has faced unimaginable challenges, finding solace in a warm, loving home that supports healing and growth. Children who have been separated from their biological families due to circumstances beyond their control are welcomed into the arms of compassionate foster parents. These parents work side by side with case managers and therapists, ensuring that each child has the emotional support and stability to thrive.

Treatment Foster Care

Treatment Foster Care provides additional resources for children with more complex needs. Perhaps they have experienced severe trauma, or they struggle with significant emotional or behavioral challenges. These children need more than a loving home. They require a healing environment to help them navigate their unique challenges.

​

Foster parents in this program are specially trained to provide the intensive, individualized support these children need. They become not just caregivers, but advocates and mentors, guiding these children towards stability and success in a family setting.

All Children in Foster Care...Our Mission

All children in foster care deserve to live happy, healthy lives in a permanent home. The goal is always to help children achieve permanency, whether that means reunification with their biological families or finding a forever home through adoption.

​

Both foster care programs are vital to our mission. We are committed to helping potential foster parents identify how they can make a difference in a child's life.

“It’s heartbreaking to think about people out there without someone they know they can trust and turn to for anything at any time. To be able to be that constant for someone and see how it transforms their view on life, love and self-worth is why we love fostering.”

Kasey & Baily Smith

 “Fostering is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life, but the most rewarding. I love watching youth come out of their shell and realize there is more in this world than the trauma they endured. It’s so rewarding and makes my mama heart grow when we make a lifelong connection with a youth and they feel comfortable enough for us to still be a part of their lives, even once they have left our home. To know they can always turn to us and know they won’t be judged but instead, supported.”
