As of March of last year, there were more than 6,000 Iowa children in foster care and there is a need for more families willing to open their homes. An eastern Iowa group is on an active search for people wanting to be foster parents. Iowa KidsNet is a group of six agencies dedicated to helping foster and adoptive parents. The branch in Scott County has 62 foster families but more than 100 children are looking for a place to stay. The greatest need is for families willing to take teenagers and sibling groups.
Considering an adoption that will make a lasting difference in a child's life. There are over 400,000 foster care children in the United States currently in the foster care system. Of these foster care children, more than 100,000 are waiting to be adopted into a forever family. Thatâs 100,000 foster care children who need the support, stability, and unconditional love a family can provide. We are excited that you are considering adopting one of these waiting children.
