For Ages 5+
Sometimes, when grownups aren’t able to care for their kids, foster families can help. This means a lot of changes, and can be scary. The cool thing is that foster families are committed to providing kids with safety and security during times of transition. No matter your experience, you aren’t alone.
Children & Families First, a nonprofit organization serving Delaware, has been providing foster care and adoption services for over a century. We use evidence-based, equity-centered, and innovative approaches to build diverse, healthy, and resilient communities where all children and families thrive.
