ABC at Echo Park Foster Care/Adoption Program provides a transitional home including
respite care, foster and adoption services for infants and children who have severe
disabilities and serious medical and emotional problems. We primarily serve East Harlem.
ABC at Echo Park Foster Care/Adoption Program works quickly to reunite children with their
own families, or if that's not possible, to find and train a nurturing family to care for
each child. Its Kinship Foster Care program oversees the placement of foster children in
the home of relatives. Recognizing that absorbing a child into an existing family unit has
ramifications for each family member, including the child's biological parents, families
are given comprehensive training and support services to ensure that the foster and
biological parents and the children make a successful adjustment. Hundreds of children
with debilitating medical conditions who at one time would have been left to languish in
hospitals now live with loving families. We are always looking for foster families in East
Harlem.
