Foster Or Adopt?
Make a lasting difference as a foster or adoptive parent. There is an urgent need for caring individuals in Citrus, Hernando, Lake, Marion, and Sumter Counties to provide a safe, loving home for youth who have experienced abuse and neglect. Open your heart and home to a child, teen, or group of siblings. You can guide them to a brighter future and help end the generational cycle of abuse.
As the lead child welfare agency in our community, Kids Central will support you every step of the way on your journey to foster or adopt. And the first life you change will be your own.

Celebrating National Foster Care Month
National Foster Care Month is recognized each May to increase awareness of the more than 390,000 children in the U.S. foster care system, honor foster and kinship caregivers, and emphasize the ongoing need for safe, permanent, and loving homes.
The observance also highlights the importance of support for youth transitioning into adulthood and recognizes the dedication of professionals and volunteers committed to improving outcomes for children and families.
