What are the options in foster care?
Traditional Foster Care
Families provide care and ensure the health and well-being of children in care while birth-families complete case plan requirements, in order to achieve reunification with their children (which may include treatment, securing housing, parenting/mental health/chemical health assessments). Foster providers are responsible for ensuring that children remain connected to their community, peers, and birth families.
In the case that reunification is not possible, foster providers may have the option to be a permanency resource for the child/children in their care through adoption, transfer of custody, etc.
What EVOLVE provides:
- A thorough home study assessment of families, helping them assess their strengths and areas of growth in preparing to care for foster children.
- Connections with multiple counties and intensive support to families once children are placed in the home.
