Home Study Process

Our home study worker will come to see you several times to get to know you and your family and home. There is paperwork, background checks and lots of discussion so that when we place a child with you he/she will be a good match.

Training/Support

We offer pre-service training regarding State requirements and Lehigh Valley Families Together policies. We offer individual training based on you and your foster child's needs. There's also a monthly support group and a summer picnic to acknowledge our wonderful foster families.

“My husband and I have been foster parents for over 40 years. It is by far the most rewarding job I have ever had. I have many years’ experience in the job field from a medic in the Navy to a clerk in a grocery store, but a paycheck does not compare to a hug from a child. We have parented newborns who look at you in innocent wonder, toddlers who crawl in your lap in happiness, sadness or just because and we have had school age kids who are frightened, angry and confused. All have touched our hearts in their own special way. It is such an overwhelming feeling to know we have touched theirs, also. Our hope is always that for a short time, all our kids know we have loved them unconditionally.
It has been 40+ years of challenges and joy and we hope to continue for years to come. ”
