DHS Spotlight Graphic
May is National Foster Care Month...
You Can Change a Lifetime!

Each May, we salute the compassionate people who make a difference by serving as foster parents, relative caregivers, mentors, advocates, social workers, and volunteers. Thanks to these unsung heroes, many formerly abused or neglected children and teens will either safely reunite with their parents, be cared for by relatives, or be adopted by loving families.

If you are interested in becoming a foster parent, please contact your local Department of Human Services listed in the telephone directory under state government.
