Amara

Siblings need each other. At Amara, we try to keep siblings connected while they're in foster care, whether by helping foster caregivers care for sibling groups or by supporting connection between foster families & the families of the child(ren) in care.

We know there are a lot of myths surrounding foster care. Let's bust some of them.

Our family has to have a stay-at-home parent.
NOT TRUE! If a single parent works or both parents in a couple work, DCYF will cover childcare or before/after school expenses, as long as they attend a site accepting DCYF subsidies.
