Now Serving:
Becoming a Foster Parent
When birth parents are unable to provide for their children, a foster family takes on the role of providing a safe and nurturing foster home. The state or county agency responsible for placing children in foster care is called a child protective services agency.
The ultimate goal of the foster parenting system is to reunite children with their birth families, but sometimes this isn’t possible. In those cases, adoption is the ultimate goal for a foster child, and foster parents may end up working with adoptive families to provide a permanent home and family for the child.
Making a Difference
By becoming a foster parent, you are making a difference in the lives of children in need. Many children that need foster families are coming from situations of child abuse, or a rough family life, and they need your help. We are here to help foster parents and adoptive parents every step of the way and make sure that the process is smooth and as stress-free as possible. If you’ve ever thought about becoming a foster parent, Alba Care Services is here to help you make that happen. We are a passionate group of people that are dedicated to helping people become foster parents.
