Foster Care and Adoption

Foster Care and Adoption

Catholic Charities foster care program helps qualified individuals and couples become licensed foster parents. Our case managers facilitate the initial training and continue to provide ongoing training, resources and support. We recruit and support foster parents, therapeutic foster parents, kinship foster parents and unaccompanied minor foster parents.

Like many who have biological children and are considering becoming foster parents, Ellynn felt excited but uncertain. She didn’t know how it would impact her daughter or how other family members would react.

Even before getting married, Callie and Brigham knew they wanted a large family someday. They were both the youngest kid in families of seven. Brigham was first introduced to foster care while serving his mission, and Callie was surrounded by foster care while growing up. Her mom and aunt fostered, and during the summers, Callie would nanny for her aunt.
