Koinonia Foster Homes is a non-profit organization based in California that provides foster care and adoption services. Founded in 1982, the organization works to place children in need with caring foster families and facilitate adoptions. The name “Koinonia” comes from the Greek word meaning “fellowship” or “communion,” reflecting the organization’s mission to create meaningful connections between children and families. The organization offers comprehensive support services including foster parent training, ongoing case management, and therapeutic services for children in care. Koinonia Foster Homes is licensed by the State of California and maintains accreditation through nationally recognized bodies in child welfare services. They operate multiple offices throughout California, serving various counties and communities. Koinonia Foster Homes specializes in finding placements for children with special needs, sibling groups, and teenagers – populations that often face greater challenges in finding permanent homes. The organization provides extensive training and support to foster parents, including 24/7 professional assistance, regular home visits, and access to educational resources. They also offer transitional housing programs for foster youth aging out of the system and post-adoption services to help families succeed long-term. The organization partners with county child welfare departments, other social service agencies, and community organizations to provide comprehensive care for foster children and their families.
