Our purpose, our communities
Established in 1992, Knotts Family Agency has grown from its early work supporting homeless teens and their babies to foster care, adoption, and family support. Our mission remains simple: to nurture children and youth.
We work with children, youth, resource parents, and prospective foster and adoptive families. Our service information covers San Bernardino, Riverside, and Los Angeles counties. Availability depends on the particular program, location, and needs of the family.
