OVP FAMILY Seeks Foster Parents to Help KY Children
More than 8,500 children in Kentucky depend on caring people like you to help them find a safe, stable, loving home. So, let’s get straight to the point. Have you ever considered being a foster parent?
If so, we’d love to talk with you to explore whether fostering a child might be a good fit for you and your family. By the same token, if you’ve never entertained the idea, we’d also like to talk with you to answer any questions you might have and discuss how foster care can often be every bit as rewarding for the parent as it is for the child.
Contact us to express your interest in learning more about foster care. The best way to do that is by clicking on the green button below and filling out the form that will appear on your screen. You may also call us at 606.222.KIDS (5437), or email us at fpreferrals@ovpfamily.com.

After a child is placed in your home, OVP FAMILY and OVP HEALTH will remain an active partner and advocate for the foster parents, foster child, and biological parents, who will have unfettered access to OVP HEALTH’s wide range of behavioral health care, counseling, medical care, and socially necessary services.
OVP FAMILY is able to serve foster children and families throughout eastern Kentucky. Those services are based in Louisa and Pikeville, but children and families are able to receive most services at the OVP HEALTH outpatient location nearest them.
