What types of children are placed through foster/adoptive programs?
Children are referred to private foster/adoption agencies and county programs from child protection programs throughout the state. Most of these children have been removed from their birth families due to abuse or neglect. Children range from infancy to 18, with most of the children between the ages of 1 and 8. We encourage the placement of siblings with the same family. Highly capable and nurturing families are needed. For more information, call Sacramento County Department of Health and Human Services Adoption Program at 916-875-5967.
