CHILDREN’S BUREAU SEEKING FAMILIES TO
NURTURE AT-RISK CHILDREN IN FOSTER AND
ADOPTIVE PROGRAM
(North Hollywood, CA)
With more than 70,000 children removed from
their parent’s homes due to abuse and
neglect and 119,000 children waiting for
adoptive homes in the U.S., there is a great
need for caring adults to provide a loving,
nurturing home as either foster or adoptive
parents. A parent orientation will be held
on Saturday, July 21st
from 10 a.m. -12:00 noon at the
Children’s Bureau’s office located at
11815 Riverside Drive, North Hollywood,
CA 91607 (a house). Those interested,
adults single or married, are welcome (both
English and Spanish speaking).
Foster parenting involves caring for a child
(or brothers or sisters) on a short or
long-term basis while adoption offers these
vulnerable children a permanent, stable home
environment. Teenagers need homes, too! In
either situation, you have the opportunity
to give a child (or children) who has been
hurt- either emotionally or physically – a
life filled with love, hope and all the
little things that make childhood special!
Due to a lack of foster and adoptive
families, Children’s Bureau turns away over
100 children per month, including 20 newborn
babies and young sibling sets. If you
have ever considered fostering or adoption,
now is the time to call!
Qualifying families receive training,
certification, funds and 24-hour support to
aid in the care of their foster or adoptive
children. For more information, please call
(818) 985-8154, Ext. 0, call toll free
(800) 730-3933, Ext. 0 or visit
Children’s Bureau Web site at
www.all4kids.org where interested
families may print out an application. Se
Habla Espanol!

licensed foster family and adoption agency.
