In the early 1980s, substance abuse was destroying family after family, leaving thousands of children in need of foster care. Foster Recruitment Specialists formed in response to this need. Working with some of the leading child welfare agencies, we created communication programs to “tell the world” of this growing crisis and how loving families could step forward to help. And they did! In just a few short months, the results were dramatic. Hundreds of foster parents were screened and qualified to care for children of all ages.

How we do it

It’s really not so hard. We quickly learned that the more families who are aware of the need for fostering, the more loving families will step forward to open their homes. In our early days, we found that a combination of traditional home-finding techniques and enhanced community partnerships resulted in hundreds of families contacting Foster Recruitment Specialists for information on fostering. Most recently, the web and social media has provided the platform to reach hundreds of thousands of families with our urgent message and request for assistance.
