Foster Care

The Resource Family (Foster/Adoptive Parent) Program provides safe, nurturing foster homes for over 300 boys and girls in crisis each year, newborn to 18. Many are neglected or abandoned, still others come to us as a result of physical/sexual abuse or violence in the home. Rosemary Children’s Services supports foster children throughout Pasadena, the Greater San Gabriel Valley, Riverside and portions of San Bernardino.

The Resource Family (Foster/Adoptive) parents and our professional staff work as a team to provide consistent care, and treatment for the children. Rosemary continually seeks eligible families and individuals to join our foster program.

We Need Resource Families (Foster/Adoptive) to:
provide a stable & warm environment for children newborn to 18
help with homework
provide emotional support
guide children through normal growth situations and issues
help build a positive social foundation
provide advice and assistance with resumes and job searches
point out children’s strengths and provide a safe environment to work on personal struggles
assist with health concerns
talk about safety issues
provide a loving environment on a short or long-term basis

The most important need is the desire to make a difference in the life of a child and the ability to work as a team with Rosemary Children’s Services.

With the newly licensed full services Adoptions Program from the State of California, Rosemary Children's Services has made a firm commitment to the permanency of foster children who are unable to reunite with their birth families by recruitment of Resource Families willing to adopt.
