Wright County Seeks Additional Families for Foster Children

Wright County is fortunate to have over 40 family child foster care homes.  These foster families open their homes to children who are struggling through difficult circumstances. Foster parents offer children the gifts of their time, encouragement, listening ears, and heart-felt compassion. 

Children involved with the foster care system come from all walks of life and are working through a variety of different life challenges. Foster children need many things from their foster families, but most of all they need acceptance and patience; patience to see beyond the first impression or beyond a challenging behavior.  As a foster parent, you could offer the support a child needs.

Those who have thought about becoming a foster parent should contact the county now. Wright County Human Services is in need of additional child foster care homes. There is an especially high need for families willing to provide Emergency Shelter Care. Emergency shelter homes are available to take placement of children after business hours and on weekends. 

The county is seeking families with flexibility to take a chance and try something new in order to make a positive difference in the life of a child.  Whether you are interested in having children stay in your home on an on-going basis or if you would prefer short-term placements such as emergency shelter care or respite, please call to access additional information.
