LUTHERAN FAMILY SERVICES (LFS) Rocky Mountains has been helping children and families since 1948. In Northern Colorado, LFS provides services in foster care, unaccompanied refugee minor (URM) foster care, adoption, pregnancy counseling, parent education and support, teen pregnancy prevention and counseling for older adults and caregivers. Over the past year, LFS has provided 165 loving foster homes for 274 neglected and abused children. Great foster parents are essential to our success and many more foster homes are needed.

The LFS Foster Care Program provides skilled and caring substitute families for children who cannot live with their birth families. Each child in foster care has an important reason to be in foster care. Ranging in age from birth to age 18, foster children may have been neglected, physically or sexually abused or have exceptional needs with which birth families struggle. Problems of trust and building healthy relationships with others are very common for these children.

Foster families provide children with a safe, nurturing home and work with LFS staff to address each child’s special needs.

The goal of foster care is to provide permanency for these children, which may be reunification with their birth family, adoption, or independent living (for older teens).

Tanya came to the LFS foster care

program when she was 11 years old.

After moving in with her foster family, she quickly declared them her ‘forever family and home’. Her first Christmas with her new family was full of new experiences. Tanya had received presents before but the traditions that families enjoy during the holidays were foreign to her. She had never decorated a tree or experienced the joy of selecting a gift for a family member. Now at 15, Tanya is grateful for being part of a family and is proud of her role in that family.

Could you be a foster parent? No special degree is required-all you need is a love of children and the desire to help!

Foster parents come in all shapes and sizes; a couple with children of their own, empty-nesters with a lifetime of parenting skills, single people with love and support to offer, grandparents who want to help children...the variety of people that make great foster parents is endless.

LFS will work with you to evaluate the type of child that would best fit in with your family. Throughout this process, you may select an age range, gender and types of behaviors with which you feel most comfortable. The PA I D A D V E R T I S E M E N T

goal is to create the best possible fit for all involved. One of the greatest needs is foster families who can care for sibling groups.

The Unaccompanied Refugee Minor (URM) foster care program is another great foster parenting option.

This program helps children, generally teenagers, who have been legally resettled in the United States without a parent or relative to care for them.

These children have often endured significant hardships, loss and trauma. URM foster parents help these children adjust to our educational, financial, political and social systems—helping them learn to function independently while also encouraging them to maintain their own culture.

Open your Home. Open Your Heart.

Call 970.266.1788 to register for a foster parent information meeting. LFS will provide the information you need to make your decision as well as the training and support you will need along the way. Discover how you can help the vulnerable children of Northern Colorado.
