Our Foster Care services support children ages newborn to eighteen. Newborns may suffer from the effects of premature birth and/or prenatal drug exposure but are medically stable. Older children have often experienced abuse, neglect, trauma or multiple moves. All of these youngsters need loving, stable families who can provide for their emotional, physical and educational needs while helping them to grow and flourish. Many of the children in this program have developmental delays which need to be addressed in a stimulating and nurturing environment. A pediatric nurse practitioner is on our staff to help address any concerns you might have and a caseworker helps to put any necessary therapeutic or educational services in place.

A phone call to Children's Aid and Family Services at either 201.226.0300 or 973.762.5887 is the beginning of a fulfilling new chapter in your life. Our Recruitment Specialist will personally help you with any questions you may have about our foster care opportunities and programs.
