I guarantee you'll be inspired by this conversation with Derek Cain and Daniel Mose, both recruiters for foster families. They both work with SAFY (Specialized Alternatives for Families and Youth) and Derek is a foster father himself. They explain how foster care works and the real need for families to step in and help kids during transition periods. We also cover who can be a foster parent, including young families, single people and empty nesters.

SAFY is a child and family nonprofit preserving families and securing futures services that help families and children heal, have hope, and thrive through a model of care that includes therapeutic foster care, adoption, family preservation, behavioral health and supports for older youth. SAFY currently serves youth and families in Alabama, Colorado, Indiana, Kentucky, Nevada, Ohio and South Carolina.
