At any given time, there are 70 county children and youth in agency care. A number of them must reside out of county because there are no local foster homes for them.
In the past 3 years, over 40 youth aged out of foster care without a family to support them. Foster families are always needed for teens, sibling groups, & children over the age of seven. Want to learn more about foster parenting? Contact: • Centre County Children and Youth Services www.centrecountypa.gov • Bethany Christian Services www.Bethany.org |

In Pennsylvania, there are nearly 2,000 children waiting to be adopted. Every child deserves to have a Forever Family with which to share life's memories, to celebrate the good times, come home to on holidays, and a have shoulder to lean in their time of need. For more information, contact the Statewide Adoption and Permanency Network (SWAN) at www.adoptpakids.org or Centre County Children and Youth Services.

Lend a helping hand by joining our James 1:27 list. Foster & adoptive families and parents working to keep their family together often need an extra set of hands (or wheels). Could you drop off a meal, assemble a bike, help little ones with homework, mow a lawn, locate or pick up a donation (beds, strollers, etc. are always in high demand), babysit to give the family a break (background check required), or just be a ear for someone having a tough day. Help is especially needed during the transition time when a new foster child is placed with a family. We would so appreciate any assistance you can give! Sign up on our contact us page.
