Foster Care in Ontario | Annie's Havens
We have been foster parents since 1991 and have operated our foster care agency since 1996. In that time, we have seen countless children flourish under the care of our foster parents. Kids come into foster care for countless reasons and it's our job to make sure they leave care with the best chances for success. Most importantly, as we have been foster parent ourselves, we fully understand the daily lives of our foster families and how to best support them which is much appreciated.
Licensed by the Ministry of Children and Youth Services, we make sure that only the best foster parents are part of our program. High quality homes not only makes for better outcomes, they also keep our kids safe.
We invite you to learn more about foster care in Ontario, our foster care programs and what it means to become a foster parent.

In Ontario today, there are well over 10,000 children in foster care or group homes. There has been a decline in recent years of people answering the call to open their homes to children in care. This is creating a tremendous strain on our child welfare system.
Current homes are taking on more children than they'd like or worse, taking on children they aren't prepared to care for due to their high needs. Other provinces have been facing this problem for far longer. They've resorted to using motels to 'warehouse' the kids until a foster home is available.
This has led to suicides and kids simply disappearing. We can't let that happen here in Ontario - consider becoming a foster parent or referring a friend.
