Welcome to the Foster Care & Adoptions Web site
Santa Cruz County Foster Parents Make A Difference... One Child At A Time!
Thank you for what you do each and every day
to make a difference in the life of a child in foster care!
 
Four Ways to Change a Life
  1. Be a Foster Parent: Open your heart and home to a child in need. Training is available. For more information, call 454-4375.
  2. Be An Adoptive Parent: Provide a permanent, loving home to a foster child through adoption. For more information, call 454-4044.
  3. Be A Court Appointed Special Advocate: Advocate for a foster child's best interests inside and outside the courtroom. For more information, call 761-2956.
  4. Be A Donor: The foster care system does its best to provide life necessities, but youth often lack birthday gifts, sports uniforms, and other items many children take for granted. Help fill the void by making a monetary donation to the Youth Resource Bank or by joining the Foster Parent Association. For more information call: Youth Resource Bank 689-9609 and Foster Parent Association 426-9673
