      It is the intent of Open Arm's Comprehensive Foster Care program to serve abandoned, abused, neglected and delinquent youth. This agency's philosophy has always been based upon the belief that all youth have fundamental rights to a healthy home environment, good parents, and a wholesome family life that is Christ-focused. Open Arms believes this environment will produce individuals with the moral, social, and ethical accountability necessary for a successful future.

The latest statistics say that 500,000 children are taken into foster care each year. Many foster children have suffered from sexual or physical abuse or gross neglect. They may come from any ethnic group or race and can be any age. They may be a sibling group who are no longer able to live with their biological family, but should remain together. These children need a foster family to give them love, hope and security, someone to listen, and someone to help them overcome their problems that may be emotional, educational, behavioral, or all three.
