Foster Care and Adoption in Milwaukee County
In cases where children may not be safe with their family of origin and no extended family can care for the child, Children's Court may order the child to be placed in a foster home. Children's Service Society of Wisconsin partners with BMCW to recruit, train and license foster families. Ongoing Case Managers assist the foster family in meeting the needs of the children and facilitate visits by parents when allowed.
