McMan Foster Care said it is urgently seeking new foster parents in Edmonton and surrounding areas as soon as possible.

The Edmonton agency facilitates finding homes for children in care.

Children in care have often experienced trauma and need a caring adult to guide them.

When there are not enough foster homes in an area, kids in care are forced to move out of their communities.

McMan Foster Care is looking in particular for Indigenous families and allies for children and youth from the LGBTQ2 community.

To become a foster parent, you must be at least 21 years old and a resident of Alberta .

Couples looking to be foster parents don’t need to be legally married or own their own house, but if living together must have been in a stable relationship for the past 12 months and be able to provide their foster child with their own bedroom.
