Frequently Asked Questions about Foster Care!

❓ I don’t own my own home
That’s fine! We have foster parents who live in apartments, rentals, or own their homes. If you have the space for a child in your home and want to help, connect with us to learn more!

❓ I’m a single person
We have foster parents with all kinds of relationship statuses including single, married, engaged, or dating.

❓ I don’t have a separate room for foster children
Foster children are able to share a room with your biological children. There are restrictions on age and gender for children to share a room, which we can discuss in more detail if you are interested. Also, children under 1 can share a bedroom with the parent(s) in the home.

❓ I can only take one child
This is perfectly fine! Any space to care for a child in our community is appreciated; you don’t need to have space for several children in order to be a successful foster parent.

❓ I would need childcare / I work during the day
Foster parents are eligible for daycare assistance and are able to enroll children in daycare as needed. Foster parents can also utilize natural supports (family, friends, etc.) to assist.

❓ I’m not sure where to get started

Some people lead with words. Dana Kressig has always led with action.

As our past President, Dana poured her heart into our mission, giving countless hours to help children and families find hope, stability, and support. Her leadership wasn't just about serving on a board—it was about showing up, inspiring others, and making a lasting difference in our community. Her "why" has always been the people we serve.

Today, we have an opportunity to honor that legacy by supporting Dana's fundraising campaign with New Dancing with Our Stars.

If you've ever been inspired by Dana's compassion, leadership, or commitment to others, please consider making a gift in her honor. Every donation, no matter the size, helps continue the work she cares so deeply about.
