"It
is easy to close our eyes to the hurt of the world or to look overseas
and say it is there but not here. It is there, but it is here also and
we need to step up to the plate and do our part without judgment. For
us personally our part is not so tough. We teach and love. Raising
children is the most important job there is. The responsibilities
are enormous, but the rewards are even greater.”
- Laurie C., foster parent |

When
children are abused or neglected, they may be removed from their homes
on a temporary basis by the State to protect them from further harm.
Child and Family Services works with State agencies to find homes for
children, to provide treatment and support to them and their birth
families, and to resolve issues that have made their homes unsafe. |
|
Family reunification in
a safe home is always the goal of foster care. Child and Family
Services offers foster care, treatment foster care, respite, and
independent living skills building for teens in foster care.
