Provide temporary care for children coming from unsafe situations. Work as a team with the child’s caseworker and biological family to safely return them home. Colorado needs another 1,200 foster homes to support the current need.
FOSTER CARE
Children in the foster care system may become eligible for adoption while in your care. Foster parents are considered if the child’s biological family members are unable to care for him or her.
FOSTER TO ADOPT
Be a forever family for a child who cannot return home to their biological family and is legally free for adoption. Foster for approximately six months until the adoption can be finalized. There are over 290 children in Colorado’s foster care legally free for adoption at any given time.
FOSTER ADOPTION
Two homes provide short-term care, between 30 to 90 days, for Adams County Colorado children in emergency foster care situations. These homes offer a safe haven so foster kids can remain in their community, school, and with their siblings until longer-term options are available.
