Every child deserves to benefit from a safe, loving family environment. Our goal is to keep families together, but when that is not possible, we rely on our foster parents/kin in care caregivers to provide care to our children and youth in need of support.
At this time, HSCAS is in need of all foster parents for children and youth of all ages, especially teens and siblings.
We welcome you to explore the links below to hear firsthand from foster parents and the youth they support about their experiences.
We encourage you to take some first steps to considering becoming a foster parent and changing the future of a child.
If you are open to learning about how you can support a child or youth and have the patience, skills, time and ability, please call Highland Shores CAS at 613-962-9291 or 800-267-0570 to learn how you can get started.
