Foster Hope
Starr Foster Care provides care for children, from infancy to 18 years of age, and we also assist with adoption if you're interested in providing a permanent home for a child in need. You can help bring hope to area children, and we will provide the tools and support you need along the way through our child-centered and family-focused services. Starr Foster Care goes to great lengths to ensure our families and children are successful.
We'll provide extensive training to help you prepare and become licensed. But it doesn't stop there. Starr's various support services include in-home services, respite care, crisis intervention, family stabilization and transportation to help foster children receive the therapeutic, educational and medical attention they need.
Starr Commonwealth provides Foster Care services in Battle Creek and Detroit, Michigan, and in Columbus, Ohio, serving numerous counties and hundreds of children throughout each state. You've already taken the first step by opening your mind to the possibilty and exploring our website for more information. We ask that you take the next step and get a little bit closer to becoming the parent so many children are hoping for.
