Our goal is to make the process of becoming a certified foster parent as clear as possible. From providing Colorado state approved training to helping families navigate paperwork, Project 1.27 Case Managers are available to help the whole way through.

A CORD OF THREE STRANDS IS NOT QUICKLY BROKEN

Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

SUPPORT TEAM

Your Support Team is a group of friends and/or family members that are willing to commit to supporting you during your foster or adoptive journey. The support you receive from your Support Team can make the difference between a thriving family and disheartening isolation.

Project 1.27 families are required to bring at least four Support Team Members to Support Team Training before approaching their agency for certification.

A Support Team member commits to:

Pray for your family.
Understand the foster care/adoption journey by participating in Support Team Training and utilizing the monthly Support Team Blogs.
Spend time with family and children.
Encourage by assisting with practical needs like short-term child care, transportation, meals, house cleaning, yard work, etc.

SUPPORT GROUPS

Having adequate support is essential when fostering or adopting. While there is ongoing Case Manager support available to every Project 1.27 family, we encourage you to find local support groups which provides networking, encouragement and ongoing training. Join one of the listed support groups, or if there’s nothing in your area, contact us to start one

We do our best to keep an updated list of Colorado support groups, but if you know of any changes to support group times or locations, please keep us updated by emailing info@project127.com.

If you are attending a support group session as part of your Project 1.27 training, please fill out and bring this certificate to the support group. Remember, this is an opportunity to observe and identify questions to ask your Case Manager.
