Fostering Idaho's Future

ChildEvery child deserves a safe and loving home. Foster care and adoption provide that to Idaho’s youngest and most vulnerable citizens.

However, children are not the only ones to benefit from these programs. Serving as a foster parent or adopting a child can be an extremely rewarding experience, the kind of experience that enriches the lives of everyone involved.

We encourage you to take time to review the information on this site. If you have additional questions, or feel ready to take the first step in becoming a foster or adoptive parent, click here and fill out our online form. Someone from our program will contact you to assist you and answer any questions you may have.

Or, call the Idaho CareLine, 2-1-1 or 1-800-926-2588.
