Children's Aid Society of Alabama (CAS) has provided services to families in need or at risk since 1912. We believe that children who grow up in safe, stable homes with loving families or permanent supports have the greatest chance of success. We help parents gain the skills and resources they need to keep families together. When children cannot remain with their birth families, we recruit and prepare adoptive homes. We house homeless young mothers and their children while they gain education and job skills that enable them to create family homes. We prepare youth in foster care to age out with the skills necessary to live independently.
