"Every
child deserves to grow, learn, and dream in a supportive and loving
environment. During National Foster Care Month, we recognize the almost 400,000
young people in foster care and the foster parents and dedicated
professionals who are in their lives. We also rededicate every child a sense of
stability and a safe place to call home." -- Presidential
Proclamation -- National Foster Care Month, 2014
Thank you to our Grant County Foster Parents! We greatly
appreciate everything our Foster Parents do for our children and teenagers in
Foster Care!
Grant
County Social Services licenses and oversees these placements.
Generally,
placement in foster care is temporary and intended to give the child's family
time to make necessary changes so that the child can live safely in his or her
home and community.
Most
children in foster care return home to their families.
When
children cannot return home, they find permanence through placement with
relatives, adoption, or other means.
If
you are interested in becoming a foster parent call us at 608-723-2136,
and ask to speak to one of our Foster Care Coordinators.
