Foster Care
We are proud that, on our most recent DCFS review, we were ranked Number One in the state for ensuring the children in our care are placed into stable homes with loving families. Our scores are excellent in all areas of DCFS reviews, including child safety, legal support, and court performance.
Our licensing department works with you to obtain a foster care license for your home and schedule you for the required, free training. After licensing and training are completed (a process that can take 3-6 months), children can be placed in your home.

The Child Link Adolescent Foster Care Program serves at-risk adolescents, ages 12-21, with conventional adolescent issues and emotional needs. The program was established for DCFS children who have suffered traumatic experiences and have difficulty integrating into a traditional family. Because these children have not had the opportunity to connect with a caring adult and lack positive role models, they often engage in risky behavior.
Adolescents in this program receive individualized services that promote stable relationships, protect them from victimization, and assist them in developing and achieving healthier goals. In addition, Child Link provides these youth with the vital support they need to graduate high school, attend college, acquire vocational training, and build positive lasting relationships.
ChildLink cree que permitir a familias participar en un programa bilingüe es esencial para garantizar que todos los niños y jóvenes estén preparados para el éxito, a pesar de cualquier barrera lingüística.
Childlink se esfuerza por proporcionar servicios bilingües a aquellos niños y familias que requieren de tales necesidades. Siempre se hace un esfuerzo consciente para colocar a un niño de habla hispana en un hogar de acogida que refleje sus necesidades de comunicación.
Como miembro del Consorcio Latino, ChildLink se asocia con múltiples agencias de bienestar infantil para organizar recursos y apoyar a familias latinas en Chicago y en todo el estado de Illinois.
