Adoption

When expectant parents decide to place their child for adoption, we help them develop an adoption plan and identify their chosen adoptive parents.

Foster Care

Foster care provides a safe, loving home for vulnerable kids, while families work to get back on their feet.

Emergency Care

When a child's primary caretakers face a short-term crisis, Safe Families for Children provides a safe place for a child.
