Mission

Caring for Kids seeks to provide children of all ages with the safety and security of a healthy and loving family. We believe that each child, regardless of gender, race, nationality or special need deserves a family.

About

Foster care program - during the 2018-2019 fiscal year, CFK provided care for 208 children. Foster care has been the foundational program of CFK for over 20 years by certifying foster caregivers and thus, providing safe and nurturing homes for abused and neglected children in the custody of child protective services. Over the past 5 years, we have seen a significant increase in the number of children coming into foster care resulting in a constant need to recruit and certify new foster caregivers. Ohio children are entering foster care at a rate never before seen, hitting 16,154 in 2018, an increase of 3,500 or 28 percent in five years, according to the public children services association of Ohio. The main reasons for the increase in numbers of children coming into care revolve around parental drug addiction and domestic violence. Sometimes, children do not return home, and foster caregivers are needed to not only foster but to adopt children who are placed with them. 35 of the 208 placements switched from foster to adoption status.
