Considering Becoming A Foster (Resource) Family?
Foster Care is meant to be a short term solution for children needing out-of-home care. Youth enter foster care when there is evidence of chronic abuse, neglect, or there are signs the youth is in imminent danger. In all cases, the goal of the court is reunification with the biological parent, and on average, roughly 50% of the time that happens.
Considering Adoption?
Though private adoption has decreased, many forms of adoption still occur today. Youth, 12 and older, can still be found all over our country waiting for an adoptive family. In addition, there are roughly 700,000 frozen embryos available for adoption. And while international adoption has also declined in numbers, there are still countries open to having youth adopted internationally, especially for those with special needs.
