About Us
Focused on meeting the needs of children and families
For more than 50 years, The Bair Foundation has remained steadfast and responsive in its work to bring about meaningful change in the lives of America’s most vulnerable. As a Christian foster care agency, we have provided hope and stability to more than 250,000 children and families in crisis.
Our Approach
Our number one priority is the safety and well-being of all children in our care.
Christian principles of love, compassion, generosity and hope have been incorporated into our training, philosophy and services. As God so loved us and adopted us into His family, we do the same for abused and neglected children who are in need of a temporary or permanent home.
What We Do
Because we are a therapeutic foster care agency, many of the youth we serve have experienced abuse, trauma and neglect.
The first goal is to prevent out-of-home placements through intervention and by focusing on the strengths of the biological family. When safety is an issue and children must be removed from their home, The Bair Foundation provides intervention and influence that promotes health and well-being in the least restrictive environment while moving toward permanency.
Children are placed with foster parents based on referrals from the counties who have a contract with The Bair Foundation.
Why foster parents choose us
Our dedicated, committed and faith-filled staff go above and beyond to ensure our children and families are getting the best care and services.
Because every child is unique, Individual Service Plans are created with input from every member of the treatment team. The diverse backgrounds, characteristics and needs of foster youth means that foster families of all races, ethnicities and cultures are needed.
We support foster families through the certification process and after the placement is made to ensure their success. Foster families are the agents of change, and they should feel loved, appreciated and valued.
