Rural Foster Care in Aragon
This is my Nest
We support families in rural areas of Aragon who provide temporary homes for children and adolescents in foster care. 28 years old building networks across five regions.
The rural foster care program “Este es mi nido” is sponsored by Coceder and is part of the ESF+ Program for Social Inclusion, Child Protection, and the Fight Against Poverty; it is co-financed by the European Union, the Ministry of Social Rights and Agenda 2030 as part of its social interest programs, funded by 0.7% of personal income tax, and will be implemented in collaboration with the Provincial Council of Aragon.
Understand
Fostering is not the same as adoption.
It means providing a home while a family rebuilds itself. It means being a bridge, not a destination.
FOSTER CARE

- It is temporaryit lasts as long as the child needs it.
- The child retains their identity and ties to their biological family.
- Custody remains with the Government of Aragon.
- Foster care prepares the child for a return to their family of origin or a stable solution.
ADOPTION
A family forever
- It is It is permanent:legal parenthood is transferred.
- The child legal identity changes..
- It is carried out through the IASS’s standard adoption process.
- It is not our program,but we can guide you if this is what you’re looking for.
