About Us
Foster care offers temporary homes for children when they can't safely stay with their own families. The main goal is to help these children return to their parents.
Larimer County especially needs foster families for:
- Teenagers
- Siblings who want to stay together
- Children with special needs
While some foster parents hope to adopt, the initial focus is always on providing temporary care. If a child cannot return to their parents, their foster family might be considered for adoption.
Kinship care involves placing children with relatives or close family friends who become certified foster parents. This is the preferred option when it's safe and appropriate.
We do not discriminate against anyone based on race, ethnicity, culture, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, gender identity, or any other protected characteristic.
