My husband and I decided to begin our foster journey at the end of 2016. A friend grew their family by fostering to adopt, and they recommended Circles of Care. There were several steps before we were licensed, but Clarissa was a tremendous help. She’s always prompt and courteous to answer any questions. In a few months after trainings, inspections, a home study, and a hurricane, our home was open for placements in November 2017. We have been able to work with two great caseworkers, Vanessa and Pat. They’re super friendly and ready to assist with anything that comes up. Melissa has been great at making sure we are up to date and staying compliant when items are due. Mike and Henry have also been available to share their knowledge. The families you meet at trainings and gatherings make it feel like a community. We’ve had the privilege of being able to care for four children that came to visit us and we had the honor of adopting one sweet soul. Fostering can be challenging at times, but the staff at COC is supportive and tries to make it as easy as possible. They also offer private adoption services! Read Less

This has been one of the best adoptive/foster agencies I have encountered. My case manger Pat goes above and beyond to assist me with anything I need. The agency itself is super supportive. I began fostering at the beginning of 2020, so I had the privilege of helping foster children, and the chaos of a pandemic. COC was there to help every step of the way. Highly recommend when you are ready to help children in need of loving foster or adoptive homes! Read Less

Since the first call to enquire about foster care, Circles of Care has been wonderful, personal, and professional. Our nerves and the unknowns about foster care were met with such personal care and professional information. Both of these are such a wonderful combination! They settled all the concerns and questions we had about the foster care journey. It is one of the best teams and groups of people with a depth of experience. We feel comfortable contacting any of them, when we have a question or concern. Each of them responds quickly and makes themselves available. When we were being certified, they met with us personally because we couldn’t make the set training hours due to our work schedule. Our case manager is one of a kind! She is knowledgeable, personal, helpful, experienced, and available. We can’t say enough good things about Circles of Care. We would choose them over again and again as our licensing agency! Read Less
