Connecting Children with Loving Homes
All children in Mississippi deserve a permanent, loving home. We also recognize that a caring family with supportive parents is necessary for a child to thrive. We help place children of all ages, cultures, and backgrounds in the safety of a loving home. Canopy forms families through our adoption and therapeutic foster care programs.

Therapeutic Foster Care
With thousands of children in the child welfare system in Mississippi, there is a desperate need for families to open their hearts to provide safe, nurturing homes. Our Therapeutic Foster Care program recruits and trains families to provide homes for children with emotional disturbances.
