Welcome
The State of California’s photolisting of children in foster care who are in need of loving and supportive families.
The Process
California Kids Connection features California foster children who need permanent, loving, adoptive families. In California, caregivers need to be approved as resource families, and part of this process is completion of a family evaluation. In some counties and other states this is also known as a home study or written assessment. Click here to find out more about adopting through foster care.
