Providing a safe haven and a permanent family

All children need and deserve the love and security of a nurturing family. At Aviva, we believe that the family is the foundation of a child’s emotional well-being. Children who live in nurturing, stable environments are most likely to mature into healthy, productive adults. Our foster family agency seeks to find such families for children who are among the most vulnerable and neglected in the county. By limiting the size of the caseloads, Aviva’s social workers are able to provide weekly home visits, diligent oversight and support to the foster children and their foster families.

Aviva gives critical attention to recruiting and screening individuals and couples who can provide a safe, structured and nurturing home. Foster parent(s) are provided with intensive education in caring for children with histories of emotional trauma. We seek diversity in our parental selection, knowing that a loving home can be created in a variety of settings. We are always there for our families with guidance, education and 24-hour on-call support.

Often times, our foster parent(s) want to adopt the children we place with them. For a child whose early years of life have been chaotic, painful and insecure, offering a permanent family can be a seminal milestone in the healing process. As a licensed adoption agency, we can make dreams come true for both the child and the parent(s).

If you have room in your heart and a home to help a child in need, learn how to become a foster or adoptive parent by emailing our foster family and adoption agency at foster-adoption@avivacenter.org or calling 1-888-Aviva FFA.
