Arapahoe County has joined forces with Jefferson and Douglas Counties to recruit, train, certify and support foster families. These families provide temporary care for youth in all three counties who cannot remain safely in their homes. On average, there are more than 1,000 children in foster care and 40 children awaiting an adoptive family combined in all three counties at any given time.
