What is Foster Care? LSSI cares for children who have been removed from their birth families due to abuse and/or neglect and places them with foster families who receive training and support from LSSI. LSSI’s child welfare staff work as a team with committed foster parents to offer loving, safe homes for children. The main goal is to help children find their forever home, either by reunification with birth families whenever possible or through adoption. Bring your questions! LSSI staff will be present at the event to share about the work being done in your community, explain what it means to be a foster parent, and answer any questions you may have about this important program.
