Foster Parents Are Needed in Brown County

Brown County needs more foster families.

The greatest need is for families who are open to caring for children ages 2–18, especially young siblings and teens.

Support is local.

CCR is a statewide foster care agency, but foster parents and the kids in care receive hands-on support. You’ll receive weekly in-home support visits and 24/7 on-call assistance throughout your fostering journey.

What Foster Parenting Requires

Foster parenting requires a flexible schedule. Children may have appointments, family visits, school needs, and unexpected situations that require an adult to be available.

Foster parents must also be willing to care for children who have experienced trauma and need extra support with their emotions and behaviors.

You don’t have to know everything about foster care before you begin. Our team provides training and ongoing support to help you learn how to meet the needs of the children in your home.

Can foster parents have pets?

Absolutely. Your pets will need to be up to date on vaccines, and a pet's temperament will be discussed if there is a concern.

Can I choose the age of children I want to foster?

What is it like parenting kids with trauma?

Parenting children and youth who have lived through trauma is hard. Their past abuse, neglect, and chaos often show up as big emotions, challenging behaviors, and deep mistrust. Traditional parenting approaches don’t work. CCR foster parents need flexibility, patience, and a willingness to meet kids in their hardest moments so they can finally feel safe—and begin to heal. Our team will support you 24/7.
