Our Programs
In all of the communities in which we serve, our specialized foster care, kinship, and adoption services address systemic challenges at the family level. Individualized, supportive services respect each person's right to choose and empower our neighbors to achieve their highest potential.

Foster Care
It is instinct. It is common sense. Children belong in families. Children are simply unable to care for their own needs. They require and deserve the support, knowledge, love, and nurturing care that only a family can provide. A child needs this care to grow and mature as a healthy person; to thrive.
Adoption and Permanency
Daunte Culpepper, Dave Thomas (the founder of Wendy's restaurants), Eleanor Roosevelt, George Washington Carver, Nancy Reagan, and Sarah McLachlan... what do these famous persons have in common? They were all adopted! Each one of these people is an example of how a child can rise above trauma, and flourish under the loving care of a family.

Maryland Respite Care
Respite Care keeps families together by providing temporary relief from the rigors of raising a child with special needs. As a Respite Caregiver you provide a vital service in the community and help prevent children from entering long term out-of-home care.
“
Thank you for everything you’ve done to make life better for my boys. This will be a better place if there were more people that care like you. I will never forget your kindness.”
