Middlesex County Department of Social Services

Middlesex County Department of Social Services Middlesex County is actively seeking Foster Parents to provide temporary, safe homes for our foster children. To help, please call for more information!

The Virginia Department of Social Services Practice Model sets forth our standards of professional practice and serves as a values framework that defines relationships, guides thinking and decision-making, and structures our beliefs about individuals, families, and communities. We approach our work every day based on various personal and professional experiences. While our experiences impact the c

hoices we make, our Practice Model suggests a desired approach to working with others and provides a clear model of practice, inclusive of all agency programs and services, that outlines how our system successfully practices. Central to our practice is the family. Guided by this model, we strive to continuously improve the ways in which we deliver programs and services to Virginia's citizens. "Collaboration for Strengthening Families to Better Futures!”

Every year, children enter the foster care system in need of safety, security, nurturing, and love. Foster parents provide a temporary, safe home for children in crisis. Middlesex is currently in need of foster parents. The agency needs the community’s help to keep children in foster care safe and cared for until those children can return home to their families or find their “forever families” through adoption. Children in foster care are removed from their home due to abuse and/or neglect and like all children, deserve a safe and loving home! Please contact Moriah at 804-758-2348 for more information on how you can help our children! Residents of Middlesex County, VA may apply for benefits at the agency in person, request for applications to be mailed, online at https://commonhelp.virginia.gov/ , or by phone at 855-635-4370. Separate rules exist for each program.
