FAQ
How can I help children in my community?
Choose to become a part of the solution by giving of your resources by becoming a foster parent or through donations of time, advocacy, money, clothing, toys, event tickets, mentoring, volunteering and other services. Please see our Ways to Help page..
How do children come into foster care?
If a child is not able to be maintained in his/her home, Children's Services might be granted custody through Juvenile Court. A child then may be placed in foster care if a relative, or adult that the child has an established bond with, cannot be identified or does not meet safety requirements.
What happens if it is determined that a child is at risk of being abused, neglected or dependent?
Services are put into place for the family and efforts are made to keep the family together when a child is determined at-risk. If the family needs to be separated while services are utilized, children are placed in the most family-like setting possible while efforts are made for reunification.
Can a caseworker remove a child from my home?
A caseworker on his/her own cannot make the decision to remove a child from his/her home. Miami County Children's Services works with Juvenile Court and law enforcement to secure the safety of children in the community. Permission from Juvenile Court must be give to Children's Services to remove a child from his/her home. Children's Services goal is to protect children and preserve families.
Can Miami County Children's Services Board (MCCSB) help my family if we are caring for a relative's child?
