Frequently Asked

Simple answers to some of the most common questions about 4KIDS, foster care, and how you can make a difference.

Who exactly is 4KIDS?

4KIDS is a Christian nonprofit dedicated to providing hope, homes, and healing for children and families in crisis. Through foster care, family preservation, trauma-informed therapy, support for young adults aging out of foster care, care for young mothers facing unplanned pregnancies, and specialized residential programs, we work toward a future where every child has a safe and loving home.

Not at all. While foster families are deeply needed, there are many ways to make a difference. You can volunteer, support a foster family, mentor a young adult, attend events, pray, give financially, or partner through your church or business. We believe everyone has a role to play in helping children and families thrive.

Many people are surprised to learn they may qualify. Foster parents come from a variety of backgrounds and life stages, including married couples, single adults, parents, and individuals without children of their own. If you have room in your heart and home and meet the basic requirements, we'd love to help you explore whether fostering is right for you.

Children enter foster care for many reasons, including abuse, neglect, family instability, addiction, or other circumstances that make home unsafe. They range in age from infants to teenagers and may be part of sibling groups who need to stay together. Every child deserves safety, stability, and caring adults who believe in their future.

The journey begins with a conversation. Our team walks prospective foster parents through training, licensing, home preparation, and ongoing support. While timelines vary, the process is designed to ensure families feel equipped, informed, and confident before welcoming a child into their home.

What support does 4KIDS provide to foster families?

You are never expected to do this alone. 4KIDS provides training, licensing support, trauma-informed resources, advocacy, and ongoing encouragement throughout your fostering journey. We also mobilize churches, volunteers, and community partners to surround foster families with practical support and care.

Through programs like CarePortal, 4KIDS connects churches and community members with families facing urgent, practical needs. Sometimes a bed, car seat, groceries, rent assistance, or other support can help stabilize a family and prevent a crisis from becoming a foster care placement. Prevention is one of the most effective ways we can help children remain safely connected to their families.

EPIC is 4KIDS' trauma-informed therapeutic approach designed to help children and families heal from difficult experiences. By addressing emotional, physical, intellectual, and character development, EPIC equips children, caregivers, and families with tools that foster resilience, connection, and long-term healing.

4KIDS serves children and families throughout South Florida with local teams based in Broward, Palm Beach, Miami, Treasure Coast, and Southwest Florida. Because services vary by location, our team can help connect you with opportunities and resources available in your area. Just reach out.

The greatest impact comes when people use their unique gifts. For some, that means becoming a foster parent. For others, it means volunteering, mentoring, supporting a foster family, giving financially, mobilizing a church, partnering through a business, or praying faithfully for children and families in crisis. No matter your background or availability, there is a place for you in this mission.
