Adoptions & Foster Care

Becoming a foster or adoptive parent will change your life and the life of a child. Maybe not at first, but as months and years pass, both will be affected. And, someday, when you are older and wonder if you've made a difference, here's what that child will know:

Now an adult, he has a life with a little more purpose and a lot more love.
She would never have experienced an alternate "safe family" except that you chose to be a foster parent.
He has a job and pays the bills, because you taught him how to work.
She completed school, because you made sure the homework was done.
That families are treated with respect, because you modeled dignity.

Think about what you could do. If you believe that you can make a difference, call Wake County Human Services at 919-212-7474.
