Our Mission
At Four Oaks our mission is to recruit and retain stable, nurturing, and diverse foster and adoptive families to keep children safe from further trauma and assist them in their transition to permanency. We are, however, not a child placement agency. We are here to help and support you along the way!
Interested in fostering or adopting a child?
Becoming a foster or adoptive parent is full of rewards and challenges. We know you have lots of questions, and we’re excited to help you answer them! Here you’ll learn about kids in foster care, the licensing process, your support team and how to get started.
