SUPPORT THE CHILDREN

Foster

In the past several years, the Opioid epidemic hit hard in our area. Many children are entering care and there are not enough licensed foster homes to meet the demand. If you have it in your heart to Foster, please attend an informational meeting through our local Community Based Care agency or one of the local  Licensing agencies.

Learn more here: Safe Children Coalition-Foster.



Adopt

Once children enter the Foster Care system, if they are unable to  reunify with their family or origin and safely return home, the case plan may change to finding permanency through Adoption.

If you have it in your heart to adopt, you can attend an information meeting to learn more. There is a great need for Adoptive homes for Teenagers, sibling groups and children with special needs.

Learn more here: Safe Children Coalition- Adopt.

To see children available for adoption in our area, please visit the Heart Gallery of Sarasota.
