Become a Foster Parent
The United Methodist Children’s Home is looking for foster parents willing to open their homes as a temporary living arrangement for children in need of loving families. If you feel called to this challenging and rewarding task of caring for a child in need of a temporary, safe place to stay, we want to talk to you!
UMCH particularly needs homes open to the following types of children:
- sibling groups of two children or more (of all ages)
- medically fragile children of all ages
- teenagers, including teen mothers and their babies
If you are interested in becoming a foster family, you are invited to attend one of our informational meetings on the first Monday night of each month at 7:00. RSVP to Denise Peacock at 404.327.5864 no later than the Friday before the meeting you plan to attend.
If you live in the Gainesville area and are interested in becoming a foster parent, contact Christa Gaudinier for more information.
In the video below, UMCH foster families share their compelling stories of why they choose to foster parent through UMCH.
