BECOME
A FOSTER
PARENT
Jamal is a young adult who has been in foster care since he was 10 years old. Jamal has a
relationship with both his parents, but unfortunately, he could not live with either of them
due to their inability to care for him. Since being in foster care, Jamal moved to several
homes until he was moved to Ms. Jacob’s foster home. Jamal finally found a foster mother
and home that provided him with the guidance, nurturing, and structure for him to learn,
grow and succeed. Ms. Jacob’s compassion, understanding, and support provided Jamal's
stability and structure as he was navigating through life and the struggles and traumas
experienced due to being in foster care.
Cardinal McCloskey Community Services is in need of more loving, nurturing, caring adults
like Ms. Jacobs to provide compassion and care to youth in foster care. Our foster parents
provide temporary care to children of all ages, from infants through adolescents, and of
various ethnic, racial, and religious backgrounds. Adults who are committed to opening their
hearts and homes to inspire, teach and support children in our foster care programs make
the best foster parents. Our devoted staff will assist you through the process of becoming a
foster parent and continue to support you throughout your foster parent journey of
supporting and nurturing youth in foster care.
