Community Youth Services Foster Care (CYS) – an inclusive and caring nonprofit organization – is rapidly expanding. We need more LGBTQIA+ households and families to care for the region’s next generation of young people who identify themselves among the LGBTQIA+ community.

CYS is a leading foster care agency in the Pacific Northwest. For many years, we have succeeded in engaging diverse singles and families – including those within the LGBTQIA+ community – to provide foster care for youth in need of warm, loving and supportive homes.

If you’re interested in learning more about foster-parenting opportunities available through CYS, please reach out to Nathan LaChine. He is a foster-parent recruiter for CYS (and is the author of this post!) Nathan has long-term experience as a single, gay foster parent, and recently joined the ranks of married, same-sex couples who serve as foster parents.

Contact Nathan LaChine now, via voice or text, at 360-701-7050. Or send him an email at: [email protected]. He can deliver a wide range of helpful information, and firsthand insights -- and open new doors for your foster care journey.
