Every child deserves a loving, stable home, yet many in foster care face significant challenges that disrupt their futures. Here’s how your support as a foster parent can make a profound difference:

Stability for a Brighter Future
Foster children often change homes 2-3 times a year, impacting their education and emotional stability. By providing a consistent, loving environment, you give them the foundation needed to thrive.

Keep Siblings Together
Nearly 75% of siblings in foster care are separated. By welcoming sibling groups into your home, you help preserve vital family bonds and emotional support.

Support Mental Health
Foster children experience high rates of depression and anxiety—sometimes more severe than those faced by veterans. Your nurturing environment can help address these critical emotional needs.

Care for Medically Fragile Youth
Some children have complex medical needs that require specialized care. By offering a medically trained home, you provide the support they need to flourish.

Support for IDD and Autism
Children with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including autism, need extra patience and tailored care. Your support can make a lasting impact on their lives.

Guide Older Youth to Independence
Around 20,000 youth age out of foster care each year without permanent families, often facing homelessness and unemployment. Your guidance can help them transition to a successful adulthood.

Prevent Youth Homelessness
One in five foster youth faces homelessness upon aging out. Your support can help them avoid this harsh reality and build a brighter future.

Support Minority and LGBTQ Youth
Minority and LGBTQ youth are overrepresented in foster care and face unique challenges. By fostering, especially if you come from a minority community, you provide the cultural and emotional support they need.
