Serving New Jersey Since 1894
The
mission of the Children's Home Society of New Jersey is to help find
loving families for children, to protect children from harm, and to
assist parents in ways that allow them to keep their children. All
children deserve loving, caring families and good health, with the
ability to reach cognitive, emotional, and behavioral potential.
There are many paths to building a family through adoption, and The Children's Home Society of New Jersey offers many paths to assist you. As a licensed, accredited child placing agency, they are able to respond to your needs throughout the adoption process with post-adoption counseling available.
Clinical and behavioral health services are available to children and families, too. A team of expert specialists helps to meet the needs of at-risk children and families.
Foster Care
Foster
care is provided for newborns and children in need of temporary care
while their parents receive counseling. While many babies are born
healthy and in need of a loving family, there are some who are medically
fragile and may require special attention.
Children benefit from individualized care and attention. We help to maintain foster homes that provide stimulation and care for each child that support growth and development.
