We are committed to modeling a Christ- centered family for each child entrusted to us. In La Finca, children live in settings where a mom and dad (and their biological children) serve as family role models and welcome the children into their home for whatever period of time deemed necessary by the court system.

Each home does life together- work and play- and serves in a local church as a family unit. There are no more than six to eight children living in each home so that we can provide an environment of love, security, hope and encouragement while working back with biological families to bring about restoration and reunification if at all possible.

Children are provided with shelter, food, clothing, an education that best meets their individual needs, and counseling while working back with their biological family.

Working with the biological family to identify the root cause of separation and then working with the family to find the appropriate resources and counseling to set them on a new and different course for the future is an emphasis of our program. La Casa de mi Padre focuses on the restoration and reunification of families when at all possible. When family reunification is not possible or safe for the child, La Casa de mi Padre provides the child a secure, stable and loving family in which to grow and transition into young adults.

We seek to surround the foster family units with the support they need to care for the children and remain healthy family units. Regular, ongoing training is also provided for staff to ensure that the care we give is based on best practices and a knowledge of working with children who have experienced trauma.
