The Children's Place Association

The Children's Place Association believes strongly in keeping families together and we make every effort to support the parent/child relationship. However, in situations of child abuse, neglect or when parents are too ill to provide care, foster care placement becomes necessary. Our Foster Care & Adoption Program recruits, trains, licenses and supervises individuals and couples to become foster parents. By operating our own program we are able to match children with special needs to foster parents capable of caring for them. A registered nurse coordinates care of children in the program and works with families to educate them on special needs. The program recruits parents who can accommodate sibling groups and support visits by biological parents and extended family. If a child is unable to return home to their birth parents, a loving permanent home is found with adoptive parents.
