Why Foster How to Training Information Events Information Packet Facts About Foster Care

“The only reason I am living in a group
home is because I don’t have parents in my
life. I don’t need someone to watch over me. I need someone to love me.” —Youth in foster care

Because you can.

There is a tremendous need for foster/adoptive parents.

There are 2,600 children in foster care in Utah. These children have been removed from their biological parents for a variety of reasons, and need safe, loving families to care for them.

Who are these children?

Siblings who need to stay together
Children who need a loving family to help support efforts to return them to their biological parents
Children who are waiting to be adopted
Children who may need a permanent
family if they can’t return home to
their biological parents

They come from many different backgrounds, but they have the same hopes, dreams, fears, and needs as any child.
