History
Amara began as Medina Baby Home, a traditional orphanage.Throughout our history we have developed pioneering programs to meet the changing needs of our community's children, youth, and families. Our mission is ensure that every child in foster care has the love and support of a committed family - as quickly as possible, and for as long as each child needs. We are an independent, nonprofit organization in the State of Washington and was formerly known as Medina Children's Services.
Specialties
Amara serves children in foster care. We find loving families for local children who, through no fault of their own, are in Washington state foster care for their safety and protection. We license families for foster care and adoption, with a focus on long-term, stable, and sometimes lifelong placements. We know that what every child needs to thrive is a loving, safe, and stable home and family. We work with all families, regardless of race, ethnicity, culture, age, belief systems, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and economic circumstances.
