Every child deserves to have a safe, loving and permanent home. Children’s Bureau needs foster families who will care specifically for infants and toddlers during the reunification process with their parents. There are also 114,000 children currently in foster care who are unable to return to their families of origin. Children’s Bureau is seeking caring families to consider adopting these older children and large sibling sets. The agency is holding a monthly information meeting for those interested in learning more on Saturday, March 24 from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in the Community Room at the Westfield Valencia Town Center located at 24201 West Valencia Boulevard in Valencia.
Children’s Bureau encourages individuals (single or married), teachers, retired persons and anyone interested in helping children find the love, stability and support a family can provide, to contact Children’s Bureau. Qualifying families receive training, certification, stipend, benefits (including medical for the children) and 24-hour support to aid in the care of their foster and adoptive children.
For over 100 years, Children’s Bureau has been a nonprofit leader in the prevention and treatment of child abuse and neglect. More than 21,000 children and families are helped each year throughout Southern California with services that include school readiness, parenting classes, family resource centers, support groups, mental health counseling, foster care, adoption and more.
