Foster Care

Becoming a Foster Parent
Foster parents shape lives and in the process experience both the challenges and rewards that come with the task. They give a solid foundation and a brighter future to a child who otherwise may have little to look forward to ... they reach out to one small life to keep it from becoming yet another sad statistic in the news. They are heroes who personify the word family. And there are not nearly enough of them.

If you are married, single, divorced, male, female, young, old, with no children, grown children, children at home, living in town, on the farm, in a big house, or renting an apartment, Chaddock can help you take that next step to becoming just the family a child needs. Contact Chaddock's Child and Family Center at (217) 222-0034 to learn more about becoming a foster parent.
