You Can Be Their Yes.
Help NC’s kids by becoming a foster parent.
When it comes to finding a safe and loving home, too many children and youth in need of foster care are met with a discouraging “no.” You can be their “yes.” We’re actively recruiting foster parents to provide a temporary home for these kids, so they will have a bridge back to their own families. You don’t need to have all the answers to be a great foster parent. As long as you can provide stability and support, you can give the one answer these children and youth need to hear: yes.
There are several paths you can take if you’re interested in caring for children and youth in need:
KINSHIP CARE. If you have a relative or someone else you know in need of a temporary home, you may be the right fit for a placement. Staying together with a sibling or other relative can help children or teenagers adapt successfully to their new home environment.
FOSTER CARE. You may be able to get licensed to provide foster care to kids who come into the custody of the state of North Carolina because of abuse, neglect, or dependency in their family.
ADOPTION. Every child deserves a “forever family.” When a child can’t be reunited with their biological family, a foster parent may have the opportunity to become an adoptive parent.
