Foster Care
Beatrice Caffrey Youth Service (BCYS) supervises the care of hundreds of children in the
Chicago land area whom the State of Illinois has removed from their homes due to abuse or
neglect. BCYS identifies, trains, and licenses foster parents and provide ongoing training and
home visits to ensure the well-being of each child in care.
A permanency plan is developed for
each child, which may be Return Home,
Subsidized Guardianship, or Adoption.
Being a foster parent requires a strong
commitment to children and a lot of
hard work. Children who are suddenly
uprooted from their homes are often
confused, angry, frustrated, afraid
and vulnerable. They need a safe and
structured environment in which they
can feel loved and well cared for.
At BCYS foster parents are an integral part of the child welfare team. They work closely with
the child welfare staff to help assure that the child’s needs are met. Through their love and
attention to each child’s needs, foster parents can make a positive and lasting difference in a
child’s life.
