Every day children come to the attention of CPS because of abuse and neglect concerns. These children range in age from birth to over eighteen, are primarily caucasian and are often part of a sibling group. Despite their challenges, these children need someone to provide a family setting offering safety and unconditional love and acceptance. Some children stay in foster care for a while until they return to their parents, relatives, or kin. Others will move toward adoption. All children need to know they are special and have their hopes and dreams nurtured to so they can grow into the very best they can be. Fairfield County is especially in need of foster and foster-to-adopt families for teens, siblings groups and children with physical, developmental or emotional challenges.
