How long is a child typically involved in foster care?
• When families are reaching out for help they have an opportunity to voluntarily place their children for 30 days. • Children who are involuntarily placed and found adjudicated dependent typically reside in the child welfare system for 6-18 months while permanency is identified and secured. Family Pathways will provide continued support for both the foster parent and the child / adolescent. Please call Family Pathways at 724 284-9440. Ask to speak to our Recruitment Coordinator.
