Elizabethtown - Foster Care & Adoption

Our therapeutic Foster Care & Adoption program partners children with “Teaching Parents” who share their hearts and homes with children until they can return to their parents or are permanently adopted.

When you decide to become a Teaching Parent, you’ll join an extended family of other parents and childcare professionals who provide a caring and knowledgeable network of support.

Teaching Parents receive:

  • Specialized training and preparation.
  • Access to ongoing parent support groups.
  • Access to ongoing training.
  • Twenty-four-hour on-call assistance.
  • Scheduled “free” time from fostering.
  • Competitive foster care and adoption reimbursement paid monthly.
  • Access to integrated care services.
  • Outpatient and in-home therapy and case-management services.

Teaching Parents are considered individually, regardless of marital status. Our minimum requirements include being at least 21 years of age, in reasonably good health, financially stable, and having adequate living space for children.
