How long with a foster child stay with us?
Foster care is intended to be a temporary placement for a child. Reunification of the family is the primary goal. When that is not in the best interest of the child, we work with you to transition the child from foster care to adoptive care, if possible. The average stay for a child in our foster care homes is three years with some children graduating from Mount Dora Bible School while benefiting from this program. This is determined on an individual case need. Several variables are considered before releasing a child from the safety of Mount Dora Children’s Home foster care program. The well-being of each child is our first consideration. For a foster parent application, please click here.
