The Salvation Army Foster Care & Adoption Services

THE SALVATION ARMY CHILDREN'S SERVICES MISSION STATEMENT Doing the most good by Nurturing Children, Stregnthening Families & Engaging Communities. Services are provided in a holistic manner; promoting the safety and well-being of children while responding to the diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds of the children and families we serve. We promote the delivery of services without discrimination while addressing the physical, social, and spiritual needs of all children placed in our care.

The Salvation Army Foster Care Program provides for the temporary care for children and youth who are unable to remain in their own homes and are placed in the custody of the county children and youth agencies. The children are placed with foster parents, who are committed to providing a safe, temporary home for children who have been abused and neglected and are unable to remain living in their own homes. The program serves children Lehigh, Northampton, Bucks, Delaware, Montgomery and Berks Counties. The Adoption Program provides services to potential adoptive families and children through the Statewide Adoption Network (SWAN) and also provides services for private adoption home studies. Many of the referrals are for children within our own foster care program that become available for adoption and are adopted by their foster parents.
