Foster Foundations
We do fundraisers to help the needs of foster children.
Foster Care:
Help us give these foster children a better life by:
- Donating: to provide for the children's special needs
- Volunteering: to make the children feel like they aren't different
- Fostering: to provide a child with a well-built home
We fight for what we truly want!!
1. What is a homestudy?
2. What is the difference between a public agency and a private agency?
A public agency is the local branch of your state or county social service department. It focuses on finding adoptive families for children in its custody.
A private agency is a state-licensed firm, either for-profit or nonprofit, that may or may not have a religious affiliation. Private agencies typically specialize in domestic infant adoption, foster care adoption, or international adoption.
