Colorado Foster Care

An Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) specialist and fierce advocate, Molly uses her lived experience and professional expertise to protect Native families and ensure tribal sovereignty, facilitating rapid and safe reunifications.

Meet Courtney and David who became aware of the need for foster families after adopting two siblings from foster care. As foster parents, they are committed to supporting biological families and reunification.

Jeff and Sandra started fostering in 2022, focusing on teenagers because they recognized their critical need for a stable, loving home. They currently care for three teenage girls in a supportive, trauma-informed environment that encourages the teens to be active in family life, develop independence and learn self-advocacy. Sandra is bilingual in Spanish, which is vital for supporting Spanish-speaking youth. She helps maintain cultural connections and celebrate educational success: they helped two young women graduate high school, and a third will graduate this year.

Bobby and Brianna run a vibrant, committed household in Frisco, which currently includes their six biological children and an infant in foster care. Since becoming certified in 2020 to serve a critical community need, they have opened their home to 12 children in foster care. As a competitive, athletic, and musical family, they actively participate in their bilingual church, and Brianna's fluency in Spanish helps them connect with Spanish-speaking children and biological parents, fostering compassionate relationships. Although fostering is challenging, they state that making a positive, long-term impact on a child’s life is worth the emotional journey.
