Latino Family Institute

Foster care program: foster parents provide a supportive and stable environment for children temporarily unable to live with their parents due to Family problems. In most cases, the foster parents work with agency staff to reunite the child with their birth parent(s).foster care families come from a variety of backgrounds. They have a commitment to offer love and care to a child placed in their home. Some parents have or do not have children; others are single parents, couples and grandparents. Latino Family Institute runs the program, trains and educates the forster parents.

Adoption program: since 1989, Latino Family Institute (lfi) has been working with individuals and couples from all walks of life to help them realize their dream of becoming a Family with children.lfi offers full-service adoption-related services free of charge and is committed to ensuring the best match for each Family and child we serve. In keeping with our mission to build strong, nurturing families, it is the policy of lfi not to exclude persons from consideration as prospective adoptive parents on the basis of their race, religion, cultural heritage, physical handicaps, sexual orientation, marital status or age. At lfi, our overriding concern is the timely placement of a child with permanent and nurturing caretakers that are sensitive to childs trauma history and their developmental, social, emotional, cognitive, physical needs.
