Become a Foster Parent with The House of the Good Shepherd

Are you or someone you know interested in becoming a foster parent?

The House of the Good Shepherd’s Foster Care Program helps children of all ages who need short-term care as their families receive services to work toward reunification. If family reunification isn’t possible, foster parents help the child work toward adoption, kinship (placement with a relative) or living independently.

Foster parents can be single-parent families, blended families, same-sex partners, empty nesters, or those that may not be able to have biological children of their own — anyone who can provide support, guidance, and a caring environment for children who have been through trauma.

Fostering is a profoundly fulfilling act as you watch a child flourish and grow – all while knowing that you were a crucial part of making that happen. The House is with you every step of the way by providing ongoing support with 24/7 on-call assistance, dedicated foster family support specialists, assistance scheduling medical appointments, support groups, respite care, and more.
