The placement of a child into care is a temporary solution to provide a safe, nurturing family environment when his or her parents are unable to provide the appropriate care that the child needs and deserves. Our primary goal is to permanently reunify the child with his or her parent(s), whenever appropriate.

Your foster child’s case manager and other child welfare professionals will work closely with his or her birth family to resolve all problems that led to the child’s removal. If all concerns are adequately resolved, the child will be reunified with his or her family. If reunification is not possible, your case manager will pursue alternate placement opportunities, including with other relatives or potential adoptive parent(s).
