HOME

 

If you would like to learn more about fostering or adoption through Cherokee County Department of Family and Children Services, call the Impact Inquiry Line 877-210-5437. This is the first step to becoming a foster or adoptive parent.

 

Becoming a foster parent is a big commitment with even bigger rewards.  The needs of children in care are not just food, clothing, and a safe secure home. They also need reassurance, encouragement, self esteem, love, and the ability to love someone else.
