At Family Care for Children & Youth (FCCY), we believe in making real, positive changes through foster care, respite care, adoption services, and more. We want to help children in need find the care and support they need to live healthy and enriching lives. If you’re considering becoming a foster parent in Pennsylvania, we hope this post will help you see the benefits. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at any time!
Make a Difference
Even if it’s only for a short period of time, you can make a difference in the life of a child by offering a safe and nurturing environment. Many children we help have been through difficult situations, and just need a stable place to call home for a time.
Build Relationships
While you may only provide foster care for a few months at a time, you can build a relationship with a child and be a positive influence on their life. Children need good role models, and your influence can help them grow and thrive.
Help a Child in Need
Life’s circumstances can change quickly, and a child may need to be placed in foster or respite care at a moment’s notice. By becoming a foster parent, you can be available to take a child into your home when they need it the most.
Find a Forever Home
While a child may not live with you forever, by providing foster care, you can offer stability and security while a forever home is found for them. Instead of bouncing around from home to home, a child can enjoy the nurturing environment of your home until they are adopted or are able to return to their family.
If you’re interested in becoming a foster parent in Pennsylvania, please reach out to FCCY today. We’d love to speak with you about what the process is and how you can begin making a difference in the life of a child. We look forward to hearing from you!
