We are greatly in need of African American families who are seeking to adopt African American children, age range from infants to 10 and up.
We currently have counties across Northern California specifically requesting these families for African American children in need of permanent adoptive homes.
In addition to individual orientations held in our offices, we would be pleased to provide an informational meeting at a Church or other community gathering place.

The call for committed, caring foster families is great in communities across California. Foster families are a part of our
professional foster care team, fully supported by our staff in a close working relationship, providing foster children with the education,
stability, skills and support they need to succeed in the world as adults. Our social workers recognize and respond to the individual
needs of each child and support each family and child with
additional psychological, educational, recreational and treatment
resources. All our foster parents are certified by Families For Children
to provide foster care and accept children placed through our agency.
Our foster families come from varied backgrounds in the
greater Sacramento, Vallejo, Stockton, Oakland areas and surrounding counties
and care for abused and neglected children who can be best helped in a family
setting, augmented by professional services. To assist new Foster Families in
beginning the process, we reimburse Fingerprinting Fees and CPR/First Aid training costs. We offer one on one personal interviews to
prospective foster parents at their convenience. You may click the following link to view all of our
