Foster Care:

Becoming a Foster Family in Central Pennsylvania

In Pennsylvania, each day presents an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of approximately 15,000 children who need a home where they can find healing and hope for a brighter tomorrow. At Common Sense, we specialize in supporting families like yours who are willing to open their hearts and homes to these deserving children. As foster parents, you will not only provide love and care but also receive financial assistance to support the children under your roof, with minimal costs involved in becoming an approved foster family.

Foster care serves as a nurturing sanctuary for children, offering them a safe space to heal and grow until they can reunite with their birth families. It’s a pathway that not only provides temporary support but also often leads to the possibility of adoption, offering individuals a valuable opportunity to gain parenting experience before making a long-term commitment.

At Common Sense, we collaborate with numerous child welfare agencies to offer comprehensive foster care services in the greater Harrisburg area. If the idea of becoming a foster family resonates with you, know that we are here to listen, understand your aspirations, and work closely with the placing agencies to ensure a harmonious match for you and the children in need of a loving home.
