Foster/Adoptive Parents

Have you ever considering fostering a child in need, but weren't sure if it was right for you? Over the last 30+ years we have worked to join thousands of children with loving, teaching families. Read more below about how People Places can help, then contact us today to set up a Q&A meeting.

Why Join Us?

  • If you want to make a difference in the lives of children...
  • If you believe action speaks louder than words...
  • If you want to enrich your own life by sharing it with a child...
  • If you are willing to grow as you help a child grow...

Then People Places may offer just the kind of challenge you're looking for!

"Fulfilling", "Wonderful", "Challenging", "Joyous"...
These are the words our Teaching Foster Parents use to describe the experience of working with children who need a loving home. Whether you're interested in providing short-term respite care, long-term foster care, or looking to provide foster-to-adoption, we will be with you every step of the way.


Learn More About Our Foster/Adoptive Programs

Therapeutic Foster Care
We place youngsters with emotional problems with trained foster parents who offer them care, guidance and the opportunity to learn responsible family living.

Adoption
For children who cannot return home, we offer a very special kind of adoption program to help them and their adoptive parents with the support they both need to translate their hopes into lasting commitments.

Application/Training Process
People Places has a nationally-recognized training curriculum that will help prepare you for working with children who have been the victim of trauma, abuse and neglect. After training and placement, you will continue to receive intensive support through the case management services of Treatment Foster Care.
