Children in foster care stay with a family who provides safety, nurturing, support and role models for change. There are different levels of foster care which provide more intensive services to children who may be physically disabled, emotionally disturbed, or need more extensive medical attention. A safe haven is needed for children while they and their family heal. Foster parents are needed throughout Utah for children of all ages and races. Foster parents are especially needed for sibling groups of children from the same home, medically fragile children, teenagers, and minority children.
Foster parents receive financial assistance and health care for their foster children.
