The need for foster and adoptive families for children with special needs currently ranks among the most pressing in the child welfare system. Our Medically Needy program serves children ages newborn through 4 whose birth parents are unable to care for them. These children often suffer from the complications of being born prematurely and have a variety of medical conditions, such as asthma, developmental delays and cardiac conditions. Your love, care and nurturing are vital to the infant or toddler's ability to thrive, and your partnership with pediatric and medical specialists will ensure that this precious little one's every need is met.

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.
