Foster Parenting
If you have a safe, stable and loving home environment – and care
about helping children in need – consider becoming a foster parent.
Whether single, married, young, old, retired or working, nearly
everyone can make a difference in the life of a child.
Child & Family Services of Eastern Virginia has three foster
parenting needs:
- Regular Foster Parents - open their homes to children
and adolescents with minimal special needs.
- Therapeutic Foster Parents - provide specialized
parenting for children and youth with special needs. These are
generally children who have not thrived in regular foster care.
- Respite Foster Parents - provide respite to other
foster parents when they need to take a temporary break.
Child & Family Services offers introductory and ongoing training
classes, as well as 24-hour support and financial compensation.
There are no fees involved with being a foster parent.
If you are interested in becoming a foster parent, please
complete the
Foster Parent Inquiry Form. Be
advised that our service area covers only prospective foster parents
who live within a 100 mile radius of Portsmouth, Virginia.
If you are already an Up Center foster parent, but don't have
information on how to login to our Foster Parents Only site, please
email Christa
Paulosky or call at 757.397.2121, ext. 331.
