From the Connecticut Department of Children and Families site:
Care For A Child
Adopt, Foster or Mentor a child who is near you.
Help a Child Shine!
A child that is near you may be the child that needs you most.
If you are a caring adult looking to adopt, care for or mentor a child, you don’t need to travel far and you don’t need a king’s fortune.
Is your heart open to adopting, caring for or mentoring a child?
Change a life - yours and a child’s - adopt, foster or mentor a child.
