LICENSURE
FosterHope is a leading Licensed Child Placing Agency (LCPA) based in East Central Indiana, dedicated to providing safe, supportive homes for children in need. As an LCPA, FosterHope is licensed by the state to recruit, train, and oversee foster families, ensuring they meet rigorous standards to provide quality care for children placed in their homes. Foster parents play a vital role in providing emotional support, guidance, and a sense of security while working alongside social workers and biological families toward reunification or other permanency solutions.
SUPPORT
FosterHope sets itself apart by offering personalized, hands-on support to foster families through comprehensive trainings, support groups, and resource connections. We work directly with foster parents to ensure they feel prepared, supported, and empowered in their fostering journey. We offer specialized training, a supportive community, and connections to essential resources like counseling, respite care, and educational support, ensuring they have everything needed to provide a stable and loving environment. At FosterHope, we believe that when foster parents are supported, children thrive.
ADOPTION
In addition to supporting foster families, FosterHope provides home studies for private adoptions involving children outside the foster system. This service is essential for relatives, such as grandparents, or other caregivers seeking to adopt children already in their care. Our thorough home study process ensures that adoptive families meet all legal and safety requirements while providing a stable, loving environment for the child. With compassionate guidance, we help families navigate the adoption process smoothly, making permanency possible for children in need of a forever home.
