Why are Foster and Kinship Parents Needed?
There are many Navajo and Native American children who are in need of a temporary place to live while their parents work on positive changes for their family. Children who are victims of abuse or neglect and require protective services are the children we serve.
We need caring and nurturing families who are willing to open their homes and hearts to these children.
Foster care and Kinship care are intended to be temporary care that a family provides with the understanding that the child(ren) will eventually be reunited with their birth family. In some cases, the children end up needing long-term care, guardianship or adoption.
