Foster Care

WATCH AL & JOAN'S STORY

Hope and Transformation for Children and Families

Foster Care serves children in the foster care system by recruiting, training, certifying, and supporting Christian foster families. Our goal is to provide excellent care for children until they can be returned to a healthier, more functional family. For those children not able to return home, the Foster Care team works to connect them with Christian adoptive families.

Every child placed with a YFC foster family naturally experiences the love of Christ on a daily basis. Imagine if every foster child was placed with a Christian family.

We believe foster parenting is a calling...
We believe in the restoration of children...
We believe in the reconciliation of families...
We believe every child deserves a permanent family...
