Every day in our own communities, children are removed from their homes due to an unsafe situation and are placed in foster care. The goal of AFCA is to provide a nurturing support system for the children and a gateway to reunification. The ideal outcome of foster care is for children to be reunited with their parents. Youth in care are from every age, background, race, culture, and circumstance. We are constantly in need of homes for older children (ages 5 and up), and sibling groups.
Foster parents are also of diverse backgrounds, races, and cultures and may be married, single, divorced, or widowed, with or without children of their own, empty nesters or grandparents.
All applicants must be:
- 25 years of age or older
- Of good moral character
- Of good health in mind and body
- Mature
