Every child deserves to have a safe, loving and permanent home. With 114,000 children currently in foster care and many unable to return to their families of origin, Children’s Bureau is seeking caring families to consider fostering and adoption of older children and large sibling sets. The agency is holding a monthly information meeting for those interested in learning more on Saturday, April 30 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.
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.
Children’s Bureau has finalized over 1,000 adoptions for families across six counties in Southern California. Individuals (single or married), teachers, retired persons and anyone interested in helping at-risk children find the love, stability and support a family can provide are encouraged to contact Children’s Bureau. Qualifying families receive training, certification, benefits (including medical for the children) and 24-hour support to aid in the care of their foster and adoptive children.
