Becoming a Parent through Foster Care and Adoption in Connecticut

With offices in Bridgeport, Hartford, and New Haven, Connecticut, Casey Family Services works with parents to provide foster care and adoption services throughout the state. All kinds of people parent children and youth in foster care, whether as foster or adoptive parents. Our families comprise a broad range of individuals from different economic circumstances, diverse ethnicities and cultural backgrounds, and include those who are single, married, gay, and lesbian. While we need families in communities throughout Connecticut, there is a great need for parents in Bridgeport, Hartford, New Britain, New Haven, and Waterbury.

Teens in Need of Families in Connecticut

Damon, age 17
Damon is a Hispanic young man who is very artistic. He enjoys drawing, poetry, writing, and is very interested in finding work or volunteering in an art gallery.

Damon is hopeful of finding a home that can provide him with support and acceptance as he is a questioning LGBTQ youth. When asked what qualities he can bring to a family, he notes that he is adventurous and willing to try anything new; that he has a good sense of humor and loves to joke around; and that he is lively and full of charisma. Damon currently is a junior in high school and on target to graduate in June 2012. He plans on attending college following his graduation.

Damon can attach quickly to new people he meets and, will therefore, need a family that can teach him to take things “slow” when forming new relationships. He also will need a family that can encourage and support his relationships with his birth family.
