The Strongest Bonds are Made for Life
When we begin working with a child in need at Arms Wide, we see a future full of possibilities: a permanent family; a child’s sense of belonging; a family fulfilled. We focus on moments that preserve and bring a family together.
Every child, every family’s story is unique, sometimes unpredictable, and always life-changing. And wherever their paths lead, Arms Wide is there to guide, support, celebrate and make an impact on the whole family.

Become a Foster Parent
We are delighted you are considering fostering or adopting one – or more – children in need of a loving home. We know the process can seem complex and overwhelming, but we’re here to help you!
Resources
We have compiled a list of online resources helpful to both adoptive and foster families looking for information.
Family Spotlight
“I thought I was going to be on my own, so I told myself I had to do whatever it takes to be successful and not just become another number.” Defying the odds, Michael Merlo went from aging out of the foster care system to gaining not one, but two families. This is his story.
