Description | Foster care is a temporary living arrangement providing care and parenting for children who can no longer live in their homes because of abuse, neglect or other severe family problems. Social workers help families resolve problems so that their children can return home without further incidence of abuse or neglect. Children may need foster families for a few days, months or years. We are in special need of foster families who can support African American, Hispanic and other cultural backgrounds. We also need families for teenagers, sibling groups and children with special needs. |
