Foster Parenting
Why We Are Different
We seek qualified foster parents that will commit to loving and caring for a child for at least two years—so that the child will learn the essential skills of human attachment.
Angels was founded in 1998 by Cathy Richman, following five years of service as a court-appointed special Advocate (CASA) volunteer working within the San Diego County foster system. What Cathy Richman encountered was an inefficient and congested system. She witnessed far too many children being bounced from placement to placement, with varying standards of care and never truly having a place to call home. Her first solution to this dire problem was her Infants In Crisis project.
Successful nurturing of a young life requires a blend of commitment and love that not everyone can provide. Angels requires rigorous standards that are met by all of foster parents to unsure the highest quality of love and care for our foster babies. At Angels, we thoroughly prepare you for your wonderful job of nurturing a foster baby in your home. We want to give you all the tools and help you need to become an amazing foster family. Our goal is for our Angels parents to provide nurturing and loving families to every child placed.
