A foster family is a family that has extra love and resources to share with a child in need.
Foster families provide an environment of healing and stability for hurting children and families.
Foster families serve children of all ages, but families are especially needed for children over 10. Foster families can have single parents or two parents, however, a strong support system is helpful for those who are single parents and some children will need the special attention of a two-parent home. There is a special need for families of color and bilingual foster families.
