Kids Central, Inc.

Marlene Lopes

I worked for KCI for three years. I absolutely loved my team and supervisor, however, the need for child services protective programs and demands got in the way of my family time. It is evident that parenting a tough job, however, many parents disagree as they often put the responsibility on others. Nevertheless, the inocent and vulnerable kiddos are the ones who suffered the consequences. I loved my job, loved helping those parents who wanted the help. . . however, late work hours and weekends for in the way of my parenting. I chose my family, however, miss working for such a wonderful team at KCI.

First I would like to say if you call kids Central to adopt to foster and no one answers consider yourself lucky me and my husband did the process and become licensed to adopt they will tell you what ever you want to hear to get you to adopt or to foster in their class they will tell you during the match. If it does not work out it will not be held against you that’s a lie we had the opportunity to adopt for children As soon as we met the children they moved in very quickly with two visitations at a park and then move in day on the day of school let out For spring break 2020 this is our store we went from four kids we barely knew we were in our home is a school let out on spring break from that day little we knew we become parents Teachers to four kids two very good kids and two with severe behavior issues me and my husband sit out to adopt children to share our life experiences with travel and camping the most important it was very clear to our adoption recruiter Toni on our needs we were under the impression that once when the children moved in we still had 90 days to decide whether we wanted to adopt that was part of the match process little did We now once we decided that we was not a match with his children they were the opposite as us we called to discuss this with Toni and her team they tried just say whatever it took to get us to adopt it didn’t matter whether the children were connecting with us or we connected with the children I guess what I’m trying to say is what we learned through this whole process is sad now that we have decided not to adopt those four children they will not even allow us to foster the system is so broken so sad there’s so many people good people that would love to care for a child Like us so now that we have decided not to adopt we are now no longer allowed to even foster so sad we do not recommend anyone to use this agency they do not care about the children and they will tell you anything to get you to adopt so beware and do your research very well

Really nice people, but your process in becoming a foster parent is extremely, extremely demanding to the point where potential foster parents are eluding the idea of becoming one. The immense amount of paperwork, the hour drive to your location (with no chance of bringing a child, nor a space for children with parents without a babysitter), the immensely long computer classes and so much more. Understanding to an extent, your process, rules and regulations, but at what cost? Where is the threshold before realizing that you've pushed good people away?

Never get anyone to call you back until maybe a week! Plus if your a grandparent and they want you to adopt be careful on what they tell you check them out completely and have everything in writing , if you adopt a kid and you children don’t graduate school after there 18 you will not get any money to support them while they are trying to finish. They told us oh yea we will still pay until they graduate bull**** they lie. I have four grandchildren and two turn 18 before they graduate one , one year before she graduates. So no Income to help them. Also another lie yes they only pay for tuition for college nothing else so you will have to pay for all the books and dorms . And if they tell you , they will get a car that’s also another lie. I wouldn’t use this place for adoption there are some tall tales that they will tell you , especially if you grandchildren are coming to you through the system. Anything just to get rid of the kid onto you with no help. Also grandparents who don’t have insurance for medical they don’t care about your health either you aren’t getting any medical for you like Medicade to keep you healthy to raise these children. Js watch the lies they tell you.
