FSRI is a private foster care agency that matches children in state care with safe, loving homes. Our program welcomes foster parents of all backgrounds and is LGBTQIA+ friendly. FSRI staff guide foster parents though the entire process, from application to placement – and beyond. Foster parents receive pre-placement training, group and individual therapy, and consistent ongoing training specific to the challenges presented by the children in their care.
Children and youth in foster care have been removed from their homes and are in the custody of the Rhode Island Department of Children, Youth and Families and do not have access to family or alternative placement opportunities.
Our Foster Care program serves all communities in Rhode Island.
