Children are placed in foster homes in situations where they have been removed from their own families because they have been abused, and/or neglected or because other family problems exist that endanger their safety.
The children may range from infancy through 18 years of age and may have special medical, physical or emotional needs; the children may belong to any ethnicity or race and be part of a group of siblings who would benefit most from remaining together.
If you are interested in registering, or interested in receiving more information about the programs or becoming a foster parent, contact Audra Moeller by emailing moellera@chqgov.com or by calling 716-661-8212.
