(Posted 2026 May)
During Foster Care Month, we invite you to join us in saying a huge “Thank You!” to the dedicated Fairfax County foster parents who give of their time and energy to care for children in our community at their most vulnerable. We take time this month to celebrate the foster parents who have reached significant milestones in their partnership with our program.
We also want to recognize the foster parents who have just begun their journey with us in the last year. We hope that many of you will be with the program for years to come!
To all our foster parents, your dedication, compassion, and generosity allows us to offer safe, nurturing, temporary homes to children in need. Your efforts, including the everyday tasks and the extra steps you take, help children feel truly loved and supported in incredibly difficult times.
Out of respect for their privacy, full identification is not provided for everyone, but you can learn more about a couple of these families by clicking the links below.
