We love working with Fostering Futures! They have been so knowledgeable, quick to respond and thorough. We have been licensed though them recently. We have loved working with our social worker Amanda, and are hopeful to have a child placed in our home soon!
We are a borrowed bed with Fostering Futures. So far so good! Caseworker is great at getting back to us with questions we have, drop offs for parenting visits have run smoothly, and they seem on top of paperwork. No complaints & they've been really friendly to work with :)
Great organization to partner with - had a blast at the June 2017 event!
Fostering Futures has provided guidance and support through the entire process of becoming a licensed foster parent. My wife and I are not only a lesbian couple, we are also an interracial couple. Although we do not define our selves by these labels many would. Fostering Futures has created a safe space for our family to feel comfortable and valued to be exactly who we are. The main role for a foster care agency in my opinion, is to serve as an ADVOCATE for the children coming into care. This is clearly their mission, displayed by EVERYONE at FF. The road of becoming a foster parent is rocky at times, with many unknown variables in moments. Kind of like life, there are ebbs and flows. Fostering Futures will ride the wave with you, they provide support EVERY STEP of the way!! I could not be more grateful for the gift of truly growing my understanding of the true definition of unconditional love, with no expectations. Our family values and appreciates the support we have received so far on our wild and winding road into this ever forgiving system of foster care.
My Husband and I worked with Fostering Futures first to get our foster care license and now they are helping us through our first placement. The entire process has gone smoothly thanks to the employees and agency s guidance. Our case has not been easy, but they have always been quick to respond and find answers for us. The monthly support groups are very helpful. We love working with Fostering Futures!
Very unprofessional staff. Most agencies would support their clients during a life changing journey. The director Jennifer DeVivo is horrible, extremely manipulative and lies constantly for gain. I would not recommend this agency. Foster care and adoption is suppose to be a positive experience, ours has been a nightmare.
Please do your research before choosing an agency. Your experience with the system is important as this journey is life changing for you, your families and all the children who walk through your door. You can look up your child placing agencies license and investigations on Michigan's website.
We have had an overall good experience with Fostering Futures. We have fostered 3 children now through the agency. I will say that when I talk to other foster parents they always seem to think we are not getting enough support. We can't compare since we haven't worked with other agencies. But they have been responsive and empathetic and there for us. We have switched licensing workers three times now but have been with the same foster care worker the whole time. Which is most important since we have contact with her often. Fostering is the most difficult thing we have ever done in our life and I don't think that anyone or any agency can do enough to make this an easy journey.
Supported us through transferring our license from another agency, matched us with two amazing foster children, then guided us through the process of adopting them. While foster care / adoption is a rocky road no matter what agency you're with, Fostering Futures worked hard and carried us through the entire process, and they continue to be there for us now, long after our case has been closed.
We have been foster parents with this agency for 3.5 years. The workers have been supportive, and always responsive to any questions we have. We are a lesbian couple, and this has never been an issue for anyone at the agency.
We have been with this agency as foster parents for going on 5 years. We have been part of reunification s and now termination cases. In all of them the staff have always been friendly. Our licensing worker, Katie, has always treated us with respect and helped us learn our way through this adventure. Our case worker, Erica, has truly been a Godsend every step of the way. The workers have rejoiced, mourned, and walked through all the ups and downs with us and our family. Fostering Futures goes above and beyond in all they do!
This agency has to be the worst most unprofessional place anyone could ever step foot in. From disorganized staff to an extremely rude, condescending owner. What was ment to be a happy fun experience was a complete nightmare and a year of our life we will never get back. They constantly lie about the process and when you give any form of resistance and question some of the things they are asking for, after they tell you they don t ask for it but want it in your case but won t say why, they get mad at you and get very rude. I received my copy of the the home study and found multiple errors and twisted words in it. Just stay away there are other much better agencies in the area that you would be much better going to.
