Become a Foster Parent

Open Your Home to a Child in Need!

Special Kids Special Families (SKSF) is a Child Placement Agency serving the Denver and Colorado Springs Pikes Peak areas. We are currently
seeking single or two parent families with BIG hearts to open their homes to abused and neglected children and become therapeutic foster
parents. SKSF facilitates all types of foster care placements and has a special emphasis on providing services for individuals with disabilities.
There is currently a high need for therapeutic foster parents able to take adolescents into their home.

Additional Benefits:

You will be introduced to a child who needs a safe and stable home. The impact that our foster families have on these children is amazing. You will know you are making a difference in the life of a child.

You will become the most important link in the treatment team for this child. Your foster child will rely on you to help them maneuver through their treatment plan. SKSF staff will meet with you to provide the necessary training and requirements for you to become a licensed foster parent. This training is absolutely FREE to you.

We will assign you a Home Supervisor to help you navigate the ongoing journey of foster parenting. Our Home Supervisor is always available to answer any questions you may have and to support you in your parenting of children that can be difficult at times - due to their background. You will be given ongoing support, training, and encouragement from your Home Supervisor.

Financial reimbursement for care and supervision. To assist in the care of your foster child(ren), you will be reimbursed for expenses on a general range of $600-$3000 non-taxable monthly income (counted as reimbursement, not a salary), depending on the special needs of your child. Medical care for your foster child(ren) is covered 100% by Medicaid.

Please call Linda at 719-447-8983 ext. 19 or email her at lellegard@sksfcolorado.org. As a part of the application process, we are required to conduct background checks.
