All children deserve to grow up in a family in which they feel loved, cared for and free from harm. When that doesnt happen, we find, license and train compassionate caring families to provide that safe haven for children in need.

Through counseling, casework educational and support services, we help families change the circumstances of abuse and neglect that led to their children being placed in foster care. When reunification is not possible, we find loving adoptive parents to provide each child with a lasting family.

Children's Home + Aid provides child welfare services in
variuos counties in the central region. Our priority is to ensure the safety and well-being of each child in foster care. We are always looking for families who would be interested in opening their home and lives to a foster child or sibling group. Children of all ages enter foster care and need a loving family to care about them during this difficult time in their life.  We provide an advocate or mentor to children to assist them with social skills, academics, and to just spend some one on one time with them. Children's Home + Aid also provides
counseling to children and families who come to our agency for services.We have also started an Adoption Program at Children's Home + Aid. If you are interested in being a foster parent or learning more about foster care and our agency please contacts us with your questions.

The mission of Generations of Hope is to develop and sustain intergenerational neighborhoods for adoptive families of foster children, which promote permanency, community and caring relationships, while offering safety and meaningful purpose in the daily lives of older adults. Generations of Hope is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, governed by a volunteer board of directors and licensed as a foster care and adoption agency, operating a planned, geographically contiguous, intergenerational neighborhood (Hope Meadows) for adoptive families and older adults. At the heart of this neighborhood is a sense of shared purpose and values. This unique program changes the lives of foster children, retirees, and families by enabling them to create their own neighborhood and forge their own network of caring relationships. At Hope Meadows, children, who might otherwise spend most of their childhoods in foster care, are adopted; retirees maintain a meaningful, productive life by helping younger generations, as well as one another; and families adopt children whose birth parents can no longer adequately care for them. Over time, a new model of social service has evolved at Hope Meadows.
