Amara works to ensure that every child in foster care has the love and support of a committed family – as quickly as possible, and for as long as each child needs.

About

Foster care services: There are currently thousands of children living in temporary foster care in Washington. Amara's foster care services program focuses on finding, preparing, and supporting families as they parent children, navigate the foster care system, and build relationships with a child's family and community. Amara works one-on-one with families as they walk through their foster care journey. Amara works with families from a diverse range of ethnicities, belief systems, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, and economic circumstances, is committed to addressing racial disproportionality within foster care and to maintaining birth family ties whenever possible. The focus of our foster care services program is preparing and supporting families in committing to care for children in foster care for as long as each child needs.
