An unplanned pregnancy can be an emotional and confusing time for birth parents. The post-partum period is a difficult time to make life-changing decisions about parenting or placing a child for adoption. To ensure that birth parents have ample opportunity to explore their options, and to test their separation from the child, Children's Aid and Family Services provides short-term foster care while birth parents are considering their options.

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.
