Torrance Needs Foster Homes
Foster homes are needed in Torrance County for abused and neglected children in protective custody, according to the New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department.
Foster parents can be single or married, and can choose the age (newborn to 17), gender and ethnicity of the children they foster. Foster care can range from as little as four days to long term.
CYFD provides a monthly financial subsidy, free day care and medical coverage for each child, as well as training and support.
Adoption is also an option for the hundreds of children who need permanent loving homes, according to CYFD's Ronny Diaz.
For information on foster care or adoption, call Patricia Hale at (505) 327-5316, ext. 1023, or (800) 432-2075. Information is also available at www.cyfd.org.
