There are 3,000 Connecticut children in foster care that need someone like you.
Many bounce from one home to another, with little sense of permanence and no real place to call “home.” Some are separated from their siblings and the only community they know. All struggle with the trauma of a sudden or chronic separation from the most essential elements of childhood – family caring and support.
These children need adults in their lives to not only provide basic care, but to also be a consistent presence that lets them know they matter. They need parents to be positive role models and guide them through everyday life during a very challenging time emotionally.
Foster parents come into a child’s life at a critical moment and can have a profound impact on that child’s immediate well-being and their future. Foster parents can help a child develop self-esteem, regain trust and learn valuable life skills as they develop physically and emotionally.
Connecticut takes care of our children together. Through CT FOSTERS, we help ensure no child is forgotten. But it takes people like you to step up and give a child one of the greatest gifts imaginable – love.
