About Us
Established in 2015, Smiles and Tears CFS focuses on recruiting and training quality families of all ethnicities in Southern California to provide love and nurturing to all children in need, that are in the Foster Care System. We also prepare families to be parents, mentors, and guides to the Non-Minor Dependents who need extra support in the process of emancipating in safe communities. Our intent has always been to bring positive change to the foster care community, and we take pride in the families that currently are certified in our agency, and are extremely proud of our efforts and the outpouring of support from the community.
Why Become a Foster Parent
The smiles start when you open your home to a child in need regardless of their background; the tears dry when you unlock your heart to welcome a child, offering them much-needed happiness, nurturance, and support.
