Foster Care Adoption in Vallejo

Foster care and fostering to adopt is a great opportunity to provide a child a new home with the love and support they need.

Each year, thousands of children are placed in the California foster care system. The goal is to reunite these children with their biological parents, but unfortunately, this is not always a possibility. When parents lose their parental rights, the child becomes eligible for adoption.

The children in the foster care system are typically older, may come from sibling groups, come from a volatile background or have special needs. For adoptive parents with less concerns about age and background preferences, foster care adoption provides another domestic option to help grow their family.

For families who’ve always dreamt of adopting from foster care in Vallejo, the following local resources can help you achieve that goal:

• California Department of Social Services

• Family Connections Christian Adoptions

• Alternative Family Services
