We NEED certified foster/resource homes for children, ages 0-18 THROUGHOUT SAN DIEGO COUNTY. Our office is in Escondido, but many children need homes in the South and East part of the county.
We are looking for compassionate and loving adults; single, married or partnered (21 years and older) willing to open their hearts and homes to children who need a healing family experience. It takes a variety of families to provide support to children of all genders, sexual orientations, ethnic group and ages in need of parents who will be sensitive to them. LGBTQI welcome!
Our agency works hard to support foster/resource parents. We make training easy (Online and in-person). We come to you for the entire certification process and there is no charge to the applicant for the certification process.
One person can make a profound difference in the life of a child. Please be that person.
