What Does It Mean to be a Foster Parent?
Foster parenting means opening your home to a child in your community who needs temporary care, support and stability. Many children experiencing foster care need families who can offer consistency, safety and love while their own families work toward stability.
Curious about becoming a foster parent? Fill out our inquiry form.
Foster parents can be single adults or married couples, renters or homeowners, families with children already at home or without. There is no single picture of what a foster family looks like because what matters most is the capacity to show up, be consistent and wrap a child in love while they navigate something hard.
Union County Social Services walks you through every step of the process.
