❌ Myth: You must be the perfect parent to foster.
✅ Fact: What matters is your ability to provide safety and support to children that come to your home. Foster parents need to have patience!

Children in foster care come from many backgrounds and oftentimes need help due to behavioral issues, exposure to drugs, abuse, or environmental issues. When taking in a foster child, they are placed for a minimum of 6 months so they need a home that is patient, understanding, and wants to help them have a better future.

✨Maya’s Story

Maya was 17 when she entered foster care. She had been trying to hold her world together, balancing school, a part-time job, and helping care for her younger siblings. But when home was no longer safe, Maya needed somewhere to go.

Unlike younger kids, teens often wait the longest to find a foster family. Many people think older youth don’t need the same care, but the truth is, they do. Maya needed a safe place to finish her homework, someone to ask how her day was, and an adult she could count on to show up for her.

When Maya was finally placed with a foster family, she found the stability she’d been missing. For the first time in a long time, she could focus on being a teenager by joining the choir, applying to college, and dreaming about her future.

Right now, there aren’t enough foster homes for kids like Maya. Roughly 10% of children in Bethany's Foster Care program at teenagers. With only 15 licensed homes in our community, too many young people face uncertainty about where they’ll stay. Opening your home could mean opening the door to safety, belonging, and hope.
