Serving Chicago as well as Cook, DuPage, McHenry, Kane, Lake, and Will counties, our Foster Care program takes every measure to ensure that the foster child is provided with supportive foster parents and caseworkers that are sensitive to childhood trauma. In addition, youth in care receive additional supports in the form of individual and family therapies. Our goal is always the child’s successful transition to a stable, long-term placement—also called “permanency”—whether it is with their birth family, guardianship, or an adoptive family.
Become a Foster Parent
Yes, YOU can become a Foster Parent
If nurturing is in your nature, fostering a child can be a powerful way to help families in your community. And there isn’t just one type of foster parent—our foster parents’ backgrounds reflect our greater Chicago community and help in a variety of ways:
- Emergency, respite, or short-term placement
- Long-term or foster-to-adopt
- Live-in, multi-child foster family home.
