May is National Foster Care Month! Celebrate the families who open their hearts and homes to West Virginia’s children.

The need for foster parents continues to grow in the state of West Virginia; especially for parents who will accept children with disabilities for foster care. All children deserve to have safe, stable, and loving families to come home to. WVUCED Specialized Family Care Program Helps find loving homes for children with special healthcare needs.
