Criteria for Placement and Order of Acceptance
Children’s Sanctuary, Inc. accepts youth, birth to age 18, regardless of race, color, religion, handicap, or national origin.
Children's Sanctuary, Inc. does not maintain a waiting list. The order of placement is on a "first come, first serve" basis and depends on the availability of a foster caregiver with the training and experience that best matches the youth's needs. The Children's Sanctuary, Inc. treatment team will match each child with the most appropriate foster caregiver. The Children's Sanctuary, Inc. Treatment Team includes the Children's Sanctuary, Inc. Treatment Director, case management staff, and the custodial agency worker. The Treatment Director or his or her delegate makes the final decision on placement. If an appropriate match is not found, Children's Sanctuary, Inc. will assist the public custodial agency in finding the best possible placement for the youth.
Some youth, because of the degree of emotional and behavioral problems, or past criminal involvement, may not be appropriate for foster care. See Youth Not Served by Children's Sanctuary, Inc.
