If you have ever thought about becoming a foster family, here is your chance Mesa County.

The Foster Family Recruitment Campaign has just kicked off. The Department of Human Services stated that the goal is to sign up at least 25 Mesa County families to join the program.

Check out the Foster Care of Mesa County website here.

To my shock, I learned that in Mesa County alone, there are almost 300 kids in foster care right now. Even more saddening, is that nearly 50 of them are unable to be placed in Mesa County because of the lack of foster families.

There is somewhat of a lengthy process in becoming a foster family, but families that have gone through it say it is definitely worth the time and effort. For more on this story click over to KKCO News.
