There are thousands of reasons why caring individuals should foster one of the 10,000 foster children in Michigan's system. Throughout May, we'll show you  why you should Say Yes and foster with us.

Samaritas is one of the best agencies to work with if you're considering being a foster parent. We'll help you at every step of the process until the foster child is ready to be reunited with their birth parents after their family's conflicts are resolved. We encourage anyone passionate about helping kids to speak with one of our friendly and helpful staffers to schedule an orientation.orientation schedule button Call our team at (833) 605-HOPE (4673) to learn about the process. We can't wait to speak to you!🤸‍♂️🏃‍♂️🕺👫
