Strengthening and Supporting Families

Foster Care and Adoption

We offer foster care and adoption services for children in need of out-of-home, family-based care.

Services

First Home Care is dedicated to providing therapeutic foster care services and adoption services to children and teenagers who need placement out of their homes into stable, supportive and nurturing family environments. Drawing from 30 years of experience, First Home Care staff are committed to providing high-quality care for at-risk children and their families.

Children and youth in foster care learn to count on the warmth and compassion of our foster families. First Home Care’s foster parents are provided with training, and comprehensive, coordinated, nurturing care is provided in the homes of these trained treatment families. Support, supervision and 24-hour crisis intervention are available from First Home Care’s mental health professionals. Join us in fostering hope, and making a lasting difference: learn more about how to become a foster parent here.

Current Foster Parents

First Home Care offers a continuum of services that support, train, advise, educate, nurture and treat at-risk children, adolescents, and their families through our programs throughout Virginia. We are dedicated to providing services to support foster parents, and the youth in their care.

Our therapeutic foster parents are trained in the PST (Parent Skills Training) model, and offer caring and nurturing home environments that support children as they develop life skills, improve socialization skills, learn to succeed in school and develop a positive self-image.

We would never have gotten as far as we have with the placement that we have in our home now if FHC hadn't helped us the way they have . They have been amazing and we love everyone there.
