What is Mountain Circle
Mountain Circle is a private nonprofit
corporation, established in July 1985 for fostering healthy family relationships.
Mountain Circle is a treatment level agency that
recruits, trains and supports foster families.
We then contract with surrounding counties to
place foster children in these homes.
Mountain Circle is committed to finding
permanent families for children in care. We
received our adoption license in California in
2001.
Additional programs, that make Mountain
Circle a unique and exciting agency to be a
part of include: Family picnics, holiday
gatherings, adoption ceremonies. These programs
have been funded through grants and private
donations.
