Foster Care and Adoption

Every child deserves a safe, loving, and caring home.
Our program helps connect children with safe, loving,
and caring licensed sponsored families.

                                          Mission Statement

                    "Doing the Most Good by Nurturing Children,
             Strengthening Families,and Engaging Communities."

 

Every child deserves a safe, loving, and caring home.  At any time, there are 7,000 children in the State of Kansas in Out-of-Home placement.  As a Child Placing Agency, The Salvation Army Wichita Foster Care program helps connect children with safe, loving, and caring licensed, sponsored families.

 

GirlHe took a little child and had him stand among them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them, "Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me." Mark 9:36-37
