You must be able to provide for your family, and ensure that children of opposite genders will not share a bedroom (if one child is over 5), and have no more than two children per bedroom. Fost-adopt parents are selected for their ability to provide a mature, healthy, nurturing and therapeutic environment. Our most successful parents are flexible, committed, have a non-judgmental attitude, and a good sense of humor!

Families wishing to adopt must first complete the foster care certification process. Upon certification, a TLC adoption social worker will to begin the child search and child placement process with your family. To assist adoptive families, TLC maintains low adoption fees and generous adoption care reimbursement rates.
