Every child needs a safe, loving home where they feel protected, supported, and valued. At Family Services of NW PA, our Permanency Services are available to support the well-being of children and families through prevention, family preservation, family reunification, adoption, and independent living. We're dedicated to building strong foundations and fostering positive change for children and their families.
Celebrating Diversity:
Not all families look the same - which is great! Children in need of permanency don't all look the same, either. Adults interested in supporting the well-being of children can be single, partnered, or married. They may have children in the home, have an empty nest, or this might be their first experience parenting.
Family Service of NW PA does not discriminate based on race, religion, color, gender, sexual orientation, or age. We welcome people 21 years of age and older from all walks of life.
