The Foster Care and Adoption Services (FCAS) of FamiliesFirst is dedicated to keeping children safe at home with their families. In cases where a child's personal
safety is at risk, the court may ask FamiliesFirst to place the child with a certified,
trained foster family until he or she can be reunified with other healthy family members. FamiliesFirst will work directly with the immediate and extended biological family to facilitate reunification and
permanency. For more information, read about the Family Finding program at EMQ FamiliesFirst.
FCAS programs cover counties throughout California. Many counties also offer Intensive Treatment Foster Care. Please check to see what services are offered in your county.

What does Foster Care and Adoption Services do?
FamiliesFirst places children from birth to age 18 in certified foster homes. These children are unable to
remain at home with their biological parents. FamiliesFirst also provides ongoing support services to foster children
and families after a child is placed in a FamiliesFirst foster home.
How does a child receive services from Foster Care and Adoption Services?
A child is referred to FamiliesFirst's Foster Care and Adoption Services by the County Department of Social Services or the Juvenile Probation Department.
Adoption Services
FamiliesFirst is a custodial adoption agency licensed by the State of California to provide a full range of adoption services.
The principal goal of the FamiliesFirst Adoption Program is to provide adoption services to prospective adoptive parents and to special needs children whose permanent plan is adoption. Due to their level of emotional disturbance and psychiatric problems, these special needs children are at high risk for disrupted placements and institutionalized care. We bring all of our resources and expertise to our Adoption Program, designed to assist the children and families become integrated as a family system.
