Three Paths, One Nest
Taking in refugees isn't for everyone. But everyone can do their part. Find your way.
01 · Foster
Open your home, open your life.
If you live in any of our five counties, are of legal age, and have a stable home, you can become a foster family. It takes time, patience, and a willingness to provide support.
- Ongoing professional support
- Monthly financial compensation
- Network of families with experience
- Free training
Our three programs
We only offer these types of foster care
PERMANENT FOSTER CARE
Long-term, day-to-day care. When returning to the child’s biological family is not possible, a foster family becomes the child’s stable home until he or she reaches the age of majority.
REFERRAL PLACEMENT
A stable adult figure who does not live with the children on a daily basis. Weekends, holidays, birthdays: being there for children living in foster care who need a stable family connection.
NEIGHBORHOOD HOSTING
The entire community as a support network. Local families who share everyday moments such as a snack, a walk, or a Sunday afternoon with children who are being fostered by other families or living in foster care.
Volunteering
It provides support to foster families through workshops, training sessions, transportation, and mentoring.
Pro bono
Professionals in psychology, law, communications, healthcare, or education: your expertise matters.
02 · Support
Networking is also about welcoming others.
If you can't host but still want to get involved, there are many ways to help. You can volunteer at events and training sessions, or contribute your professional expertise. Every contribution helps support the program.

Frequently Asked Questions
The questions you ask us most often.
Foster care involves providing temporary or long-term care for a child who remains legally part of their biological family. Adoption involves a legal change in parentage: the child becomes a son or daughter for all legal purposes. We work in foster care, not adoption.
No. They can accommodate single people, couples, and families with or without children. What we value is the emotional stability and availability.
It depends on the case and the type of placement. Permanent foster care can last until the child reaches the age of majority; temporary and neighborhood placements are ongoing but flexible. Planning is always done with the team, and the child’s best interests are always the top priority.
Yes. Foster families (both permanent and referral-based) receive a monthly allowance from the Government of Aragon to cover the child’s needs. The neighborhood-based model does not involve compensation, as there is no cohabitation or associated expenses.
We’re here to support you every step of the way. If any issues arise, our technical teams are available to help. Our assessment is honest: No one is forcing anyone to stay unless it is in the best interest of all parties.
In most cases, yes, except when the technical services have identified a risk. Maintaining the child’s connection to their roots is a fundamental part of the program.
