Montgomery County Foster and Adoptive Parent Services

Montgomery County Foster and Adoptive Parent Services recruits and trains foster parents to become substitute families for children in need who have been abused and neglected. Foster parents provide food, clothing, and shelter, plus the love, stability, guidance, and discipline these children need until they are reunited with their families or are adopted. Foster parenting is both a responsibility and an opportunity. It is one of the highest forms of community service. Montgomery County Child Welfare Services provides pre-service and in-service training; a monthly payment for the foster child's expenses; medical,dental, prescription drug and mental health coverage; child care assistance; and case work services to the children in your home.
