North Star Family Center, founded in 2009, is dedicated to supporting children and families by providing various community-based programs and relationships. One of their key services is adoption, specifically focusing on helping families adopt through the California foster care system. With over 60,000 children in need of permanent homes in the foster care system, North Star aims to reduce adoption costs for families while offering crucial support to children who require it the most. Families working with North Star undergo a thorough support process to meet all legal requirements for fostering and adopting a child. Potential adoptive parents are expected to foster the child before finalizing the adoption placement, ensuring a successful transition into a caring and permanent family environment. Through detailed home evaluations and extensive support, North Star strives to create loving and stable homes for waiting children while assisting families every step of the way in fulfilling their adoption dreams.
