Foster Care

The Annie C Courtney Foundation is actively looking for foster parents for children and teenagers all across CT. Attend a two hour, free, virtual ZOOM information meeting to learn more. These meetings are conducted 2 times per week.

When you provide care to these children, you are supported with a vast array of resources. Foster families receive assistance with medical and dental care, and a daily stipend to cover the costs associated with caring for a child. Social workers visit regularly to provide support to families and the children under their care. Additional services are provided for kids who need them.

By caring for a child, you help the child and family heal while enriching your own life. “I cannot believe I get to do this job,” states one CT licensed foster parent. “The satisfaction I get is seeing the kids I care for start to blossom. I love seeing a child’s self-confidence grow. The most amazing thing is when a child starts to feel safe and secure, and you can see the worry and stress melt way.”

If you enjoy fostering children’s strengths and dreams; fostering stability and resilience; fostering empathy and caring in children and youth…this may be the best decision, you’ll ever make.

Foster care provides a nurturing home for children while their parents develop and enhance skills needed to get their children safely home. These skills will also sustain families long after reunification. Foster parents don’t just foster children, they foster children’s families and offer support and encouragement to parents and children as they become healthy and whole again.

For more information or to register for an information meeting, contact Annie C Courtney Foundation at 475-235-2184. Annie C works in partnership with the Department of Children and Families to find foster parents for over 3,000 children in CT foster care.
