Meet Our Foster and Adoptive Families
Casey Family Services considers the opportunity to work with children, youth, and families an honor of the highest level. Each day, Casey’s staff is humbled by the resilience and hope of youngsters who have experienced more hardships than any child should. The agency equally is honored to support compassionate and loving parents in their efforts to raise children from foster care.
At Casey Family Services, we view these families as champions, extraordinary people who are doing extraordinary things. However, if you asked any of our parents or youth, they would claim to be ordinary people doing everyday things. To give prospective foster and adoptive parents a sense of who is in foster care, and who parents children from the child welfare system, Casey Family Services offers you a chance to meet our families below. When you do, you will realize that kids like these, need families like yours, and that the families we describe here are families like yours. If these stories resonate with you, please consider fostering or adopting with Casey Family Services. Please note: If you would like to review profiles of children and youth who currently need a foster or adoptive family, please visit our division pages for Bridgeport, Connecticut; Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
