It takes time to locate the child or children who can best benefit from your family's special strengths. Sometimes we identify a child during the time your family study is in process, even though we cannot move that child into your home until your study is completed. The Center places sibling groups, usually of 2 or 3 children, together whenever possible. You can adopt or foster as large a sibling group as you have room and love for. Some families adopt or foster several children, one at a time.
Some families adopt or foster large sibling groups.
Each child has a MediCal card for medical and dental coverage. We try to provide an initial clothing allowance when the child moves into your home. Each child receives free therapy as needed, and support for the entire family. In addition, you become part of a team of professionals and foster parents skilled in working with and raising these challenging children. Visit our Research Department on our sister site, click here.
