Child & Youth Permanency

Families First believes that every child should have a safe, nurturing, life-long family to protect and guide them, but not all children in Georgia have this support. That's why we provide adoption services, foster care, permanency cooperatives, and other support services to ensure the long-term stability for children and youth who don't currently have a lasting family connection.
