Building families through empathy, hope, and respect is what we strive for at Lifespan Family Services. Our offices are centrally located to support all Central & Western PA. Our staff is committed to caring for children facing special circumstances and providing them with good homes and services. We equip their foster families with valuable resources that help the child thrive. Our goal is to leave a lifelong impact on a child who needs a caring family, and we encourage and respect all foster families.
Foster Care
Leave a lifelong impact on a child who needs a family. You can make a difference in a variety of helpful ways. Contact us to start the family foster care application process.
Adoption Care
Adoption, whether public or private, gives a child a good home. The adoptive family gets to experience the joy of expanding their family to help a child in need and to see them thrive!
Post-Permanency Services
Our post-permanency services support the child and family after the adoption or permanent legal guardianship has taken place. We also encourage foster parents to allow their home to be a permanent family home.
We gladly offer all the training and support that foster parents need and answer all the questions they may have. We accept children for placement from birth to age 21 for placement.
While our main focus is finding people wanting to become foster parents, we also offer adoption services and various services to support our foster parents.
"From the moment we walked through the door, we were met with a team that exemplified compassion and knowledge in every interaction. Lifespan went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and at ease. They took the time to listen to our concerns and needs, ensuring that no questions went unanswered. What truly stood out was their unwavering patience and willingness to guide us through each step. They took the time to break down the foster care process, ensuring we understood the ins and outs.
They treated us with kindness, empathy, and respect, making us feel valued. Their genuine care for our case and understanding of our unique circumstances was remarkable.
Thanks to the staff's expertise and dedication, we navigated the process smoothly and confidently. Their knowledge, combined with their compassion, made all the difference." - The Gottshalks from Washington County
"As former adoptive parents and current foster parents, Lifespan helped our dreams come true! We always wanted a family but were unable to do so on our own. We have fostered and helped families reunify, and we have also gotten the biggest blessing of our life when we got to adopt our first son. We still continue to give children a safe place to call home and can’t wait to expand our family once more." - The Overlys from Punxsutawney
