Adoption and Foster Care Services

Adoption is a lifelong journey and you don’t have to walk it alone. At JFS, we guide families and children from first questions through placement, post-adoption support, and lifelong connection to services. Our team provides compassionate guidance, professional expertise, and individualized care to help families thrive.

We are proud partners of the Statewide Adoption and Permanency Network (SWAN), supporting children in foster care and the families who open their hearts and homes.

It only takes one adult to change a child’s life.

Foster parents provide safety, stability, and compassion to
children who have experienced trauma, loss, or instability.

The process includes:

  • 24 hours of required training
