Foster Care and Adoption
Casey Family Services offers foster care and adoption services for children who cannot live with their birth families for some period of time, primarily due to neglect or abuse. Children in foster care may live with unrelated foster parents, relatives, or families who plan to adopt them. Services focus on the safety and healthy development of the child, including the creation of lifelong family connections to help children exit foster care and prepare for adulthood.
Casey Family Services continually seeks foster and adoptive parents for the children in its care. In most states, an individual must become a licensed foster parent and live with a child for a period of time before they can adopt a child from foster care.
Each Casey division offers foster care and adoption services for children of all ages.
The Baltimore, Maryland, Division maintains an innovative program that works with teen parents who are in foster care. The division identifies foster and adoptive families for these young people and their babies with an emphasis on strengthening the teen’s bond with his or her child, helping to prevent a generational cycle of entry into foster care.
