Youth Villages is looking for caring people in Rutherford County to become foster parents to children who have suffered abuse, neglect, abandonment or other issues and need a home.

These children need families who will care for them until they can return to their birth families or an adoptive family is found for them.
 
If the child becomes available for adoption, foster parents often have the first right to adopt, and adoption through Youth Villages is free. Youth Villages’ foster parents receive a monthly stipend to help them offset the costs of adding a child to their household.
 
Candidates should be single or married adults over the age of 25 and living in the Rutherford County area who are interested in becoming foster or adoptive parents.
 
To find out more about the support Youth Villages offers or free training classes, interested persons can
contact Blake Bohanan at 615-250-7299 or blake.bohanan@youthvillages.org.
