Child Placing Services
Across Kansas
You can make a difference.
Open your home, open your heart.
Foster homes provide a stable caring environment to children.
Foster children come in all shapes, sizes, and ages with individual needs and preferences.
DCCCA provides support to foster families to address these individual needs.
You can choose to care for one or more children, opt for children with special needs, or just provide respite care.
DCCCA is a licensed Child Placing Agency in the state of Kansas and the Family Preservation Contractor for three state regions.
We are in need of resource families in your community to care for children who are unable to live with their birth family and must be removed from the home.
At the time of placement, DCCCA Family Preservation workers and Resource Family workers will have access to and be involved in sharing vital information concerning the child.
DCCCA Resource Family workers will work with you to assist in providing the best possible services for children and families.
Our Mission:
We believe in every child's right to a stable placement with trained foster parents who are dedicated to his or her:
emotional and physical well being educational opportunity and permanency with the birth or adoptive family
