Becoming a Foster Parent in Ohio
If you’re curious or interested in becoming a foster parent in Ohio, you’ve come to the right place. We are a nonprofit agency with a mission to provide quality care for children in the spirit of Christian love. We offer placement, training, and other supportive services for both foster families and biological families.
What We Do and How You Can Help
The children, along with both biological and foster families, depend on us for connections, training, coaching, respite, family visits, reunification, and more.
It’s more than finding the people and doing the work though. As a nonprofit agency, we also depend on fundraising through events and direct donations to keep us up and running. That means that even if you’re not able or interested in becoming a foster parent, there are still many ways you can help children and families in Ohio. We welcome all forms of support.
