Foster Care

Foster Care

Every child deserves to be loved and protected. The Baby Fold’s foster care programs provide safe, nurturing home environments for children referred by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services. Services are provided for children from infancy through the teen years when they must be removed from their own homes to protect them from continued abuse or neglect.

Our goal is to help each child achieve full potential and permanency by providing a structured, nurturing, normalizing environment that meets their specific needs.

Case management, counseling, and advocacy services are provided to children in foster care, their birth parents, and the foster families caring for the children. The goal of the foster care program is to provide temporary care until permanence can be achieved for the child through return home, adoption, or guardianship.

Foster care services are provided by referral through contracts with the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services. Foster homes are licensed and trained to meet both DCFS and The Baby Fold’s standards.
