Foster Plus agencies help kids, teens and young adults who need extra support by connecting them with care that’s a step up from traditional foster care.

When you foster through your local Foster Plus agency, you’ll be a bridge for a kid in need, providing care and support at a critical moment in their life journey and guiding them toward a healthier future. You can also become a relief parent, supporting foster kids and families by providing care just a day or two at a time.

This form of foster care is not intended to lead to adoption or a long-term commitment but instead to the young person’s next step, whether it’s a return to their biological family, placement in a traditional foster care home or adoption out of foster care. Typically, kids stay with families for six months to two years.

The need in Oregon is great — and you’ll have the support you need to make this commitment.
