Children enter foster care for many reasons - poverty, abuse, and neglect - but never because of their own choice. We are always looking for families with room in their homes and their hearts to care for one or more children in foster care. We provide our foster parents with training, compensation to help with expenses, and round the clock support from our incredible staff. For families looking to become a forever family for a child in foster care, we provide a full array of supportive services to make that dream a reality.

Become A Foster Parent
Do you feel the call to be a Good Shepherd foster parent? Foster parents open their homes and hearts to children in need of a safe and loving environment. Our foster families receive extensive training and support, and the process of becoming a foster parent usually takes a minimum of four months.
Treatment Foster Care is for youth of both genders, ages 12-21, who are in foster care and experiences challenges in a traditional foster home setting. Treatment foster homes accept the responsibility of providing a structured home environment, therapeutic interventions, and additional supervision or oversight.
Fostering Faithful Families is a project that engages anyone who would like to support Good Shepherd foster families. The Good Shepherd Fostering Faithful Families (FFF) project is a collaborative effort with other agencies to recruit foster and adoptive families within respective congregations.
