WELCOME!

Thank you for your interest in foster care and for taking the time to discover what you can do to help. Children in our state need caring people like you.

Foster care is a temporary intervention for children who are unable to remain safely in their homes. When they canโ€™t stay with their biological parents or another relative, they need a safe and stable foster home; this is where you come in. While foster parenting is not without its challenges, the rewards are real. As many experienced foster parents say, foster care changes their livesโ€”not just the childโ€™s.

Utah Foster Care believes every child deserves a safe home with a loving family, whether that be for a day, a year, or a lifetime. By becoming a foster parent, you are surrounded by support from Utah Foster Care, the community, the state, and a foster care village.

This packet will help you discover the first steps of foster parenting.
