Who we are looking for
According to the National Adoption Center, a foster home (also referred to as a "Resource Home") is defined as "a temporary arrangement in which adults provide for the care of a child or children whose birth-parents are unable to care for them. Foster care is not where juvenile delinquents go. It is where children go when their parents cannot, for a variety of reasons, care for them." Often, children who are placed in foster care have been abused and/or are victims of violence. We are looking for people who are caring and understanding, who feel it is in their nature to help and provide for children in need.
Arrowhead Foster Family Agency will be a part of the process every step of the way, providing training and support for those who choose to become foster families.
