Foster Care Programs - EVOLVE Family Services

Finds and prepares families who are willing and able to provide a nurturing environment for high-risk children, ages 7 - 18. - Traditional Foster Care: Foster parents serve as the support system for any children in their care by ensuring that the children remain connected to their community, peers, and birth families. Foster care providers protect the child's security, development, health, and identity until that child can either be reunited with their birth family or placed into a family through adoption. - Concurrent Foster Care: Foster parents are the source for everything under Traditional Foster Care while simultaneously being prepared to adopt the children in their care if reunification with the birth parents is not possible. This helps decrease the amount of transitions a child goes through while increasing their opportunity of having a permanent family. - Family and Youth Services: Offers Counties a recruitment option to intensively work with children whose parents had their parental rights terminated with the goal of finding a family for the child by building a relationship with the child and doing research to explore adoptive options. Also assists Counties by writing social medical histories which provide needed medical and genetic history information as well as providing full disclosure of information to families considering adoption of a foster child.
