When Chloe was ready to leave the hospital, she had nowhere to go.
Chloe came into the world facing complex medical needs. She spent her first months in the NICU, receiving round-the-clock care, physical therapy, and feeding support through a tube.
As she grew stronger, one thing became clear: Chloe would need more than a hospital discharge. She would need a safe home with caregivers ready for appointments, routines, and long nights. She would need support from people who understood that healing does not end when a baby leaves the hospital.
The need is growing
The Up Center is seeing more requests than ever to place babies in foster homes. These are often newborns and infants with immediate needs, including medical follow-up, developmental support, and specialized care.
For foster families, saying yes is just the beginning. They need practical help, responsive support, and a community behind them.
