Welcome!
Thank you for your interest in our agency. We hope this general overview of our agency is helpful in answering some of your questions about our programs.
Hope For Kids is dedicated to serving the most disadvantaged
infants, children, and adolescents by providing specialized foster care
services from a Christian worldview. We believe that serving as a foster
parent is a ministry. You are ministering to God's most special and needy
children; those who have not been well cared for or loved unconditionally,
those who are locked inside bodies which appear imperfect, and those who
have suffered emotionally, physically, psychologically, and spiritually.
As a Hope For Kids treatment foster parent you have the opportunity to
expose children to God's love as you model Christian behaviors and values
in your home, take children to church and youth group activities, and
pray for their healing.
The goals of Hope For Kids are to strengthen and preserve
kinship ties with the family of origin and to work toward successful family
reunification. If that is not possible, provide necessary custodial and
treatment services in the least restrictive, safe, nurturing home environment.
Don't miss out on making a child's future brighter!
When children's parents are unable to appropriately
and adequately care for them, their safety, permanence, and well-being
become the community's responsibility. Children deserve to be part of
a family where they can be loved and nurtured unconditionally and have
the opportunity to thrive as a healthy child.
Sadly, there are many children residing in hospitals,
group homes and residential facilities because of the shortage of individuals
and families willing to commit their heart and open their homes to these
special children.
Our parent training and on-going monthly support meetings will prepare
our foster parents and their children for the fostering experience.
