HRS: Becoming a foster parent

PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) – As we head into the summer months and school is wrapping up for the year, there’s one local non-product working to meet the needs of high-risk children and parents to help them overcome challenging circumstances and succeed. And they need your help!

Adoption and foster care is a rewarding commitment that truly makes a difference in the lives of young people looking for a family. Mary Davies is the Tidewater Program Director with UMFS and she was joined by longtime foster parent Johanna Schafer on the mission and need for more foster parents.


If you would like to become a foster parent, please get in touch with the folks at UMFS which is located at 815 Baker Road in Virginia Beach. Call (757) 490-9791 or visit umfs.org/foster for more information.
