  • Description
  • Through no fault of their own, many children in our community have experienced abuse or neglect at the hands of a parent or caregiver. Crittenton is committed to helping ensure that every child has the opportunity to grow up in a stable and loving home, in which their physical, emotional, and social needs are met. An important part of this commitment is Crittenton's foster care and adoption services. Each year, Crittenton provides foster care case management and adoption services for more than 250 children in Jackson, Andrew, Buchanan and Clay counties. We believe that every child has the right to grow up in a stable and loving home - one in which his or her physical, emotional and social needs are met. Our top priority is to identify and develop each family’s strengths and to create a plan for safely returning children back to their homes. When this isn’t possible, we work to connect children with relatives or other permanent family options, such as adoption or guardianship. Through case management, social workers coordinate with families, the courts, community support services, and others to ensure the safety and care of each child. Children with behavior or emotional issues, or those in need of extensive medical care, receive services in specially trained homes or more intensive programs. All children receive the therapy and resources necessary to restore their hope and put them on a path of healing and growth.
