We Foster Care

A New Beginning FFA

Us, In Depth.

A New Beginning Foster Family Agency addresses the needs of foster children. It uses an Individualized Treatment Plan to meet the child's educational, emotional, and physical needs, ensuring the child's placement is successful. It is hoped that these services will provide these foster children with stability and growth. To accomplish this task, the Agency offers additional services such as:

Highly trained Agency Social Workers and Personnel

Agency Social Workers oversee the Resource Family homes and monitor all supervised visitation with biological family members.

Medical, Dental, and Therapeutic needs are outsourced to professional providers in the Community.

The Agency utilizes other community resources such as: Parks and Recreational Centers, After School Programs, and Sports Clubs

To ensure the proper care of all Foster Children, A New Beginning Foster Family Agency’s Dependents receive Tutoring, Anger Management Classes, Teen Parenting Classes, Therapeutic Services, and Medical and Dental Services as needed.

What Exactly Is A Foster Care Agency?

Foster care is a secure, affectionate, temporary home for children (age birth to 21 years) who have experienced abuse or neglect while living with their family or guardian. The goal is to safely place the child with their biological family once again, though this is not always possible.

Children enter into foster care for several reasons:

  • Their biological parents may have passed away

  • Their biological parents may be unable or unwilling to provide support

  • They may have been given up for adoption at a young age

  • Their family is abusive or negligent

  • Their family may be undergoing treatment for substance addictions

In these and other situations, the state takes over responsibility for the child's welfare and places the child in the private home of a state-certified caregiver or foster parent.

The human services department employs social workers who monitor children placed in foster care. Until the child is legally adopted, reunited with their family, or transferred permanently under a legal guardian, all decisions involving the minor's welfare are made by the state's family court and child protection agency social workers.
