In Utah, there are around 2,700 children in foster care at any given time and some 1,300 licensed foster/adoptive families. The average age of child in Crossroads Youth Services is between 8-12 years old.
We desperately need more families to become foster parents who will give a child a safe and loving environment for two weeks, two months, two years or more. And then when that child is no longer in foster care, give another child in need a home.
