Virginia foster care agency reports a decline in inquiries from prospective foster families

Fewer parents are expressing interest in fostering children and teens just as the number of children and teens needing safe homes is starting to increase, according to a report from United Methodist Family Services. UMFS—a private foster care agency that operates statewide, including in the Fredericksburg area—reported last week that parental inquiries were down 30 percent over the past six months as compared to the same time frame in 2020. “As a treatment foster care agency, we really are seeing a decline in foster parent inquiries and simultaneously an increase in need,” said Sarah Hess, programs manager UMFS in Fredericksburg. “We anticipate that need to continue to grow through the summer and into the fall as things start to open up.”

That process moves forward and we create permanency for kids, Cooper said.
