We can tell you our story…
CFCS began as an orphanage founded in 1874 in Harvard Square. Since then, we’ve become so much more.
…but we want to become part of yours.
The need for loving, nurturing homes for children in the welfare system is greater than ever. We invite you to consider adopting or fostering with CFCS today.

We are a safe space for everyone.
We know that no one can raise a child alone, and we know that it’s a little different for every family. But we celebrate those differences, and we welcome yours. Learn more about our services.
