Seeking a Supportive Family for Young Mother and Child
We are looking for a nurturing and patient family willing to open their home to a 20-year-old expectant mother and her soon-to-be-born child. This young woman has a deep love for her baby but faces cognitive challenges that limit her ability to parent independently. Due to her developmental limitations, the court requires 24/7 supervision whenever she is with her child. We are seeking a family or program that can provide a safe, structured, and supportive environment where both mother and child can thrive. Ideally, this would be a home experienced in therapeutic foster care, supported living, or parenting youth with special needs.
If you or someone you know may be able to help—or if you are connected to an organization that supports young mothers with intellectual disabilities—please reach out. Your support could help keep a mother and child together in a loving, supervised setting.
