During this difficult year as a foster family, I cannot say enough wonderful things about Foster Source. From providing training to respite to meals to a weighted blanket, they have helped my family in at least a dozen ways. Foster parenting is harder than I possibly could have imagined, but Foster Source has given us the support that we desperately needed to get through the hard days - and now things are so much better!!

I'm a kinship provider who has had limited access to support and resources. Foster Source has helped me in so many ways - with physical needs, therapeutic support, and most importantly - helping me understand that I am not alone in this journey! The staff is so amazing and supportive. I couldn't do this journey without them!

I was a non-certified kinship caregiver for 5 years with very little support. I am so grateful to Foster Source for now serve kin. I have felt more supported than ever before. I had never met anyone experiencing kinship care until I got connected with Foster Source. Knowing I am not alone has been so valuable. And the services I have been able to receive have made such a difference in our family since we do not receive the Foster Care stipend.

Foster Source has been an amazing support and resource for kinship and foster families in our community. They have provided the needed resources allowing families to become certified to care for children. Foster Source serves families throughout the state, allowing families with few resources in their own communities with opportunities for their families. An amazing organization that truly understands the needs of families working with the child welfare system.

I wholeheartedly recommend Foster Source that is doing the crucial work to support foster and kinship parents.

As former foster parents, volunteers and advisors we know first hand the role in our community that Foster Source addresses the multifaceted needs of foster and kinship parents and, in turn, the vulnerable children they care for. The charity's approach is both comprehensive and compassionate, focusing on creating a nurturing environment for both caregivers and children. Here are several compelling reasons to support this charity:

Trauma-Informed Approach: The organization's commitment to a trauma-informed approach is commendable. It recognizes that children in foster care have experienced significant trauma and provides foster parents with the necessary tools and knowledge to support them effectively. By addressing the root of the issue, they pave the way for the healing process to begin.

Skills and Resources: This charity recognizes that love alone is not enough for children in foster care. It provides foster parents with the essential skills and resources required to help these vulnerable children heal and thrive. By empowering caregivers, they ensure that the children receive the specialized care and attention they need.

Free Childcare: The inclusion of free childcare during training sessions is a thoughtful and practical solution. It not only eases the burden on foster parents but also provides children with an opportunity to interact with their peers in a safe and supportive environment.

Respite Services: Offering foster parents two hours of respite during training is a crucial support system. Caring for vulnerable children can be emotionally and physically demanding, and these breaks are essential to maintaining the well-being and longevity of foster parents.

Therapeutic Services: The inclusion of mental health support for foster parents is invaluable. Caring for children who have experienced trauma can be emotionally challenging, and these therapeutic services help foster parents process their own grief and secondary trauma, enabling them to continue providing care.

Foster Parent Nurturing: By nurturing and valuing foster parents, this charity recognizes the profound impact caregivers have on the healing journey of vulnerable children. When caregivers are well-supported and equipped, the children in their care heal more quickly, leading to healthier, more stable family experiences.

Foster Source is not only investing in the well-being of foster and kinship parents but also in the future of children who have experienced trauma. Foster Source is make a meaningful difference in the lives of these families and contribute to the healing and growth of vulnerable children. My rating reflects this noble cause to help build a stronger, more compassionate community for all.

Foster Source is the best possible resource for foster families. Better than what the county provides, your CPA, anybody. They work with those groups, and tons of others, which is part of their strength, they know everybody so can connect a parent with anything they need. But they're also foster parents themselves, so they know our problems and struggles better than anybody else. They will listen to us, when other people just say you're a saint and move on. Their support groups are the best I have ever been to, and their regular giveaways of items have helped us so much. Thank you Foster Source!

Foster Source came along at a critical time for child welfare systems in Colorado. As agencies made cuts to supportive services for foster families, Foster Source has more than filled in the gaps. From foster parent support groups, diapers, and freezer meals to mental health services provided virtually to families, Foster Source is truly a one stop shop for foster parent support in Colorado. Our agency made a wise decision when we decided to formally enter into a partnership with Renee, Brian and the rest of the Foster Source team. Our foster parents are more likely to continue fostering because of the encouragement and advocacy of the Foster Source heroes.

When we took two infants for an emergency placement Foster Source went above and beyond to help. They provided us with diapers wipes, a gift card for formula, car seats and a double stroller. They were a lifesaver I could not imagine what would have happened if we did not have them to support us.

We have also learned so much about the foster care system through the training they offer both online in person and on demand which is amazing for busy foster parent.

We have called and spoken to Renee several times she's very informative gives great emotional support and help in connecting us with the people we need when taking placements.
We've been in Foster here for 6 years have debated stepping out of the foster care system because of lack of support and if we had not been connected with Foster Source we would have stopped fostering several years ago. I cannot say enough about this organization the teams they have and how much this is changing me as a foster parent and giving me the ability to take more placements.

We also were able to take advantage of a special event they put on where foster parents can drop their children (biological, adopted, and foster) for 4 hours of FREE respite care.

Foster Source has helped our family several ways. Like Donating diapers to us . when you have 4 kiddos in diapers it is a huge help. When Ive needed quick clothes to clothe little ones who came to us with nothing. A year ago in September we took on a sibling group of 2. We already had 2 kiddos 2 and under and were about to take on an 18 month old and 9 month old. I wasnt sure how we were going to get around with 4 babies. Foster Source immediately jumped into action. Not only did they donate a weighted blanket for my 18 month old. They also found a way to donate a 4 seated stroller. The kindness and generosity of foster source helped us grow our forever family. We have now adopted all 4 of those babies . Foster Source helped a hard transition for some very traumatized babies a lot easier into our now forever family. Thank you foster Source your amazing!!!!

Foster Source has been amazing! They have provided me with free diapers + wipes since my kiddo came in June, and it has been wonderful knowing I don’t have to worry about that.

We are truly grateful for Foster Source. The support they give foster parents is amazing. Personally, they provide training along with child care. Foster parents need 20 hours of training to keep their certification. The training they provide is interesting and different. You always learn something. And to not have to worry about child care is incredible. They have paid for a zoo membership, diapers and a weighted blanket. Somethings they have done for other foster parents: beds, dressers, food, and find respite. Respite is when foster parents go on vacation and need someone to take care of your foster kiddos. They are a blessing to us foster parents and our foster kiddos. We love them.

They not only deliver things to your house that has been donated for when you get home from the hospital with a newborn baby! They also do free trainings AND provide childcare which is huge for a single foster mom like me!

I’m so thankful for Foster Source when we have had an emergency placements. Especially when we’ve not had little ones in our care since our own children were little. We didn’t have everything on hand to open our hearts and home. However, we knew we could say yes because of Foster Source.

I am a former caseworker. Foster Source helps foster families in a way that the counties still are not able. They organize excellent trainings and can get real time support and resources for foster families in need of items and respite care!

Foster Source is the best! When I needed to graduate my foster son to a bigger bed from a toddler bed, they provided a bunk bed immediately. They also sent us a weighted blanket which has been life changing for two of my foster kids. They are such a gift and I am so grateful!

Fostering is wonderful and hard! Often you have to figure it all out on your own. With Foster Source we foster parents are not alone! They are always there you lend a hand, someone to lean on, a friend to say they are with you. Foster Source can and does help. Simply amazing. In 18 years of fostering Foster Source brings so much comfort to Foster parents.

We are a Foster Family that was connected with Foster Source through our county. Whenever we get a new placement they are quick with an encouraging message and a box of diapers or can of formula too. Foster Source is an amazing program that continues to love on the babies that hang out in our crew. :)

Foster Source is a fabulous resource for foster families and foster children, offering up not only trainings, support group and special events but connections and a community. Foster Source is headed by a foster-adoptive family that understands that knowledgeable and supported foster families are successful foster families.

Fun fact: My (soon-to-be) adopted daughter came to me from a Foster Source connection. I provided respite care to her, after meeting her previous foster family at Foster Source, and when she needed to be moved, because of our already established relationship, she moved to me. Without Foster Source, I never would have found my daughter!

Foster source is an amazing life line for families and kids. They bridge the gap for foster families in ways that equip us to keep going. From free trainings (with free childcare!!), to diapers, to respite events, they really show that they care about families so much! The founders are some of the kindest and most relatable people too.

Foster Source truly cares about foster families and bends over backwards to consistently help families with the resources they need to be great. I have taken several of the trainings they’ve offered and have loved not only the content but the fact that my foster daughter is in good hands with an experienced childcare volunteer. Did I mention all of their trainings with childcare are FREE??? Love their energy, enthusiasm and dedication to making fostering easier. Thanks Foster Source!

Foster Source has been a great resource to us who are fostering/kinship care. The amount of classes they provide, for free, that cover a vast amount of topics that relate to being a foster parent, parenting classes, parenting classes for kids with medical needs, mental health classes. On top of all that, they provide free child care, so we can attend these classes with ease, and as a bonus, we get 2 hours, for each class we attend, that counts toward our annual foster care recertification. The amount of work they do outside of classes, helping with finding respite requests, items needed, clothes needed, you name it, they seem to find a way to do it. Foster Source and their team of volunteers are truly remarkable people.

I worked for a child placement agency (CPA) and Foster Source helped so many of my families! Every time one of my families needed something that we couldn’t provide I pointed them in the direction of Foster Source and they were able to help almost every time! Renee was also helpful to me when I needed advice or a resource to help my families. One in particular I think of first was when my family needed advice about the adoption they were going through. Renee used her connections to help us find a lawyer that had been through a similar case as my family and felt comfortable giving them advice!
Such an amazing organization!

When our son was placed with us in foster care, Renee drove waaay out of our way to deliver donated toys for him, and followed up with us months later to see how he was doing. We were able to adopt him almost 2 years ago and Foster Source is still close to our hearts for helping us in those first days with a new little one!

I am a single mom with one daughter in college who now also has a kinship, toddler daughter. I became unemployed shortly after taking our little one into care and have been so blessed with the help of the foster community I have found on Facebook!
Foster Source is one resource that has helped me tremendously!! I saw a post on their page asking parents to list their needs. I didn’t think it could happen but I added a car seat, a weighted blanket and they offered diapers and wipes. I received everything and even got to pick out the weighted blanket online!! It has been such a big help. My little girls sleeps with it every night and it was a huge help to get her used to car rides as well. The car seat and diapers and wipes I received also saved me so much money and I am so thankful for Foster Source!

They provide great trainings which are required for foster parents and they always provide childcare which is such a blessing and need! They have given us diapers, toys for our kids, free Colorado Rockies and Colorado Rapids tickets and helped our other foster friends with immediate needs. I also love that they involve the whole foster community in the help, so we can all work together to take care of kids in need. I am so grateful for Foster Source, they are wonderful!
