Home.
Our main goal is to place children into a loving and caring home with a forever family!
Family.
Although our staff and US team loves these children, we also know that the Hope Center is not a permanent home for our kids. They need a safe and secure family environment to grow up in. We have a social worker on staff who works tirelessly to find homes and families for the children. She works to find any living relatives of the children first to assess if they can be a suitable and loving guardian for the children. We work with any existing family members to provide education, financial planning, caretaking training, and any other way we can to get the children placed with family members.
Adopt and foster.
If no family members are found to be suitable, we work with local residents who are able and wanting to adopt or foster children. These families are also thoroughly vetted by our social worker to make sure that the children are going to be well cared for and loved!
Follow-up.
When a child is reunited with their family or with a new family, we do many visits to the house in the initial weeks and months of the placement to check on the child’s progress and make sure everything is going well. After 6 months, these visits become less frequent, but we still check in every 6-12 months to visit the children, bring presents, and provide any additional support to the families that we can!
