A Child In Your County
Needs Help --

 -- a foster child who needs a loving home and a caring foster parent during a difficult time. But what if there aren’t enough foster parents available?

Children come into foster care because, for a variety of reasons, their parents are unable to take care of them and they can’t live at home. These kids need help -- YOUR help. As a foster parent, you’ll provide a temporary home and a caring family experience. And in return, you’ll gain the deep satisfaction of seeing them grow and be happy.

If you have a little extra room in your home, and some extra love in your heart, now is the time; you can make a huge difference in the life of an Albany County child.

This site will get you started. The navigation bars at top or left allow you to click directly to any page. You can also choose topics in the boxes of interest on either side.

Or simply click the "next page" button at the bottom of each page. Then please give us a call at 447-7515 to find out when our next informational class is scheduled.

On behalf of the children of Albany County, thank you.
