Why Foster Homes
Because children need to be loved and have a sense of belonging, they need the love and support that comes with positive family surroundings.
Children raised in a loving environment are less likely to seek the support of a gang.
Group homes, although sufficient, are run more like a business than a home.
The main goal of the "Child Protective Services" is to keep the family together, but sometimes it becomes necessary to remove a child from the home, for their protection.
The saying, "It takes a village to raise a child", is very true, and becoming a foster parent can be quite rewarding.                                                                                                                                    
Your village, your community, needs "County Foster Homes."                                                             
Contact your County about becoming  a Foster parent.
