Montgomery County, PA

The Montgomery County Office of Children and Youth provides adoption services in an effort toward permanency for children who are served by the child welfare system. Our Foster/Adopt Program seeks to recruit, educate and support individuals and couples as dually certified foster and adoptive resources for children. Successful foster/adopt parents maintain open communication with the child(ren) in their care, the agency and birth family members. They are willing to work closely with birth family members towards reunification. If the court decides that reunification efforts should end due to lack of progress towards this goal, the foster parents with the agency's support will be ready to initiate the adoption process. In this way, children are more quickly provided with a stable, permanent home and they are less likely to suffer the losses associated with multiple placements. Due to the nature of our program, resource families must reside locally.

The Montgomery County Office of Children and Youth does have children from time to time who are available for adoption. If you would like more information on the children who are available for adoption, please call the Montgomery County Children and Youth, Adoption Unit, (610) 278-5880. Frequently Asked Questions
