Open you Heart, Open your Home is our recruitment and retention program that focuses on recruiting adoptive and foster parents for Alabama’s children needing loving, nurturing families.

Families or individuals interested in providing foster care for children are subject to an approval process. The main requirement is to have the ability and desire to provide the type of care needed by the children served. Foster care applicants complete a 30-hour preparation course and receive information necessary to prepare for a rewarding family experience. Join us for these preparation classes on Thursday nights, Sept. 19 through Nov. 21 at 5:30pm.

Free classes. Register for headcount.
