An increasing number of at-risk children in the Chicago area desperately need foster parents who can welcome, love and guide them toward reunification with their biological families/birth families.
Jewish Child & Family Services knows that you—the men and women, couples and families who provide a healing home to children in need—are a pillar of strength, patience and love. We also know that it takes more than that and we are here to strengthen you as you parent the most vulnerable among us.
