Every Child Deserves A Forever Family
Aspiranet is a statewide network of services for families who are meeting
the permanency needs of children within the foster care system. Through
Aspiranet locations around the state, children in foster care are matched
with families who are willing and able to provide a loving and safe family
to call the “Forever Family.”
Aspiranet Adoption through Foster Care Program (Fost-Adopt) provides the
necessary resources, preparation and support to families who are adopting
children already in their care, or new families whose first goal is adoption
and see foster care as a means to building their families.
With Aspiranet’s program of dually preparing families for foster care and
adoption, families who are caring for children in their home are prepared to
continue care if the child becomes available for adoption, thus limited the
number of moves a child has to experience. The home study process is
typically completed in four months.
For families who are only certified as foster parents with Aspiranet and
have a child who becomes available for adoption, they can continue to care
for the child during the adoption process without an interruption in
placement. This is the true for the majority of families who have adopted
children in the State of California, and the home study process is typically
completed in as little as three months.
For those families who are licensed or certified with another agency,
referrals must come from the placing agency to conduct an adoption home
study. We support these families too. We’ve conducting hundreds of these
types of adoptions each year. Ask your placement worker (or child's
placement worker) if Aspiranet can support your family during the adoption
process.
