If you have questions about children on these
pages, you can call the Idaho CareLine at 800-926-2588 (in Idaho
you can dial 2-1-1).
If you are a local business and would like
to sponsor an activity for a child, you would like to leave feedback
and comments regarding the Idaho Wednesday's Child web site (including
any technical problems you may be having), or you have another need
to contact us, please fill in the form below.
Before contacting us by e-mail, please
read the our FAQ to the right. If you send an inquiry that matches one of our FAQs, the answer you receive will likely point you back to that FAQ.
We DO NOT make matching or
placement decisions for these children, nor can we discuss confidential
information about the children. If you have specific questions
about a child, you should contact the Idaho CareLine in order
to receive contact information for that child's social worker. You
must have a current completed home study before the social worker
can speak to you about a child.
We CANNOT comply
with requests to forward e-mails or messages to a child's social
worker prior to completion of your home study. The child's social
worker must prioritize limited time in talking only to families
that have had the necessary background checks and are actually
ready for placement of a child/youth in their home.
