What We Do

How Foster Care Works

Foster care provides a temporary, loving home for children who cannot safely remain with their biological families. As a foster parent, you offer stability and care while child welfare professionals work toward reunification with the child's family or identify a long-term solution such as adoption.

Children's Hope is here to guide you every step of the way—from your first inquiry to becoming a fully licensed foster parent. You'll receive training, support, and ongoing resources to ensure you're confident and prepared to make a difference.

As a single mother, I never imagined how deeply this journey would change me. We’ve faced challenges, laughter, tears, and so much love. Watching Quincy grow into the incredible young man he is today fills me with overwhelming pride and gratitude. He may have come to me as a foster child, but he will always be my family.

Even though I can’t foster right now, giving monthly helps me make a difference. I know my donation goes toward real needs—therapy, school supplies, and everyday care. Children’s Hope keeps me informed and reminds me that I’m helping create stability and hope for local kids.

I aged out of the system at 18, but Children’s Hope didn’t stop showing up for me. Through the transitional housing program, I learned how to budget, job search, and live on my own. Now I’ve got my own apartment and a full-time job. I’ll never forget the people who believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself.
