Welcome to Larimer County

Together, we build stronger families

Thank you for opening your heart and home. We are honored to partner with you on this important journey. 

 

What you Can Expect

Personalized support: Our team partners with foster families to provide training, connect you with resources, and build a strong sense of community. 

Collaborative Approach: We believe in working alongside foster parents, biological families, and professionals to support children's well-being and safety.

Here for You: You are never expected to do this work alone. We are here to support you throughout your fostering journey.

 

Inclusivity & Equity

Embracing diversity, ensuring everyone is valued, and actively addressing systematic barriers so residents are treated fairly.

 

Dignity & Compassion

Recognizing the inherent worth of all people and supporting their resilience, growth, and autonomy.

 

Teamwork & Partnership

Collaborating across departments, sectors, and the community to enhance support systems and share growth.

 

Stewardship & Trust

Managing public resources responsibly and building community trust through transparent, high- quality services. 

 

We believe children belong with their families whenever it is safe and possible. Foster care is intended to be temporary support during a family's time of need, not a permanent solution. 

Our primary goal is to help children safely reunify with their parents. When reunification is not possible, we work to identify and support kinship connections so children can remain connected to their family, culture, and community.
