Giving Opportunities for:

Foster Care: Familes need to be together. But sometimes things go wrong: a single parent has to enter the hospital... a father loses his job and can't support his family... a family loses temporary housing or other basic necessities. When these happen we try to help the family through difficult times and see them reunited as soon as possible. Voluntary foster care allows the natural parents to reatin legal custody of their child. While the child is in foster care, a social worker works with the child's parents to set goals and to find help in solving the problems that necessitated placement.

Adoption: Give some thought to adopting... so many children are waiting for permanent homes: older children, sibling groups, minority and medical fragile children. For these kids there just aren't enough families willing to adopt. There are also young parents unprepared to care for a child who have made the difficult decision that it would be best for their child to grow up in an adoptive home. Because of that loving decision, many children have been brought together with families who have waited years for such an opportunity.

Family Life Program: Because CFS has the reputation in the community for providing compassionate and professional assistance, we receive many calls for help. The benefits of the Family Life Program are far-reaching and life changing. All of our therapists are well trained and have received proper credentials in their respective fields and share a commitment to therapy from a Christian perspective.

At CFS , we believe every child and family needs a healthy home. It is our mission and focus. We cannot do this alone. We need your help. Your gift will bring hope and health to children and families in need in Missouri and Illinois.
