When a child abuse and neglect investigation determines that a child cannot live safely at home, foster care provides a temporary safe haven. The IL Program works to ensure that youth leave foster care with the resources necessary for independent adult lives.
All children deserve to grow up in safe, loving, permanent homes.
When children in foster care cannot return home safely, adoption is the best way to provide them with a family for life. This ACS Unit works on behalf of children, parents, and other concerned parties to resolve problems involving child welfare cases.
