Foster Care

Children in our community need a safe, loving, temporary place to call home while their family situation is stabilized. Brevard Family Partnership manages foster care services for youth who have been removed from their homes. We need more individuals who are willing to open up their hearts and homes to a child in foster care. When you foster a future, you can be the difference in a child’s life.

On any given day in Florida, there are approximately 10,000 children in foster care. In Brevard County alone, there are around 250 children every day who have been removed from their families due to abuse, neglect, or abandonment and are in need of caring foster homes.

The children represent all races and ethnicities and range in age from birth to 17. Their personalities are as different as grains of sand and each is beautiful! While most of these children will return home to their parents, some will be adopted by a forever family.

Protecting children and strengthening families is the responsibility of every member of the community. While not everyone can be a foster parent, we can all contribute in some way to help a child or family in need. Click here to learn other ways that you can help!

“We have been fostering for five years. Yes, some days are hard, and some days are heartbreaking but seeing the love and appreciation in a child’s eyes makes every struggle worth it. Seeing a child come into your home scared, alone, lost, and heartbroken but watching them leave full of love, pride, and excitement for tomorrow makes what we do so special. As a foster parent, I love that we can take in a child, love them as our own, and help a biological parent work through their case plan to get their family back together. We always remember what we’re here for. We’re here to help the children, but we’re also here to help the parents in one of the hardest times of their lives. Be there for them, be their support and let them know that you are caring for their child so they can focus on themselves.”
