Foster Care and Adoption Services


A veteran of the financial industry with a sense of community, William Mahler consistently volunteers his time and gives back to many good causes that support children and young people. William Mahler is a strong supporter of Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, which has the largest adoption and foster care program in the state.


Children’s Wisconsin is the region’s only healthcare facility specifically dedicated to the wellness of children. The hospital has three different areas that provide adoption and foster care, depending on certain circumstances.

It partners with the Division of Milwaukee Child Protective Services to offer general foster care that matches children with foster homes. Treatment foster care is available for children in situations where the parent or guardian cannot take care of them. Children and adolescents receive home-based care until their guardians finish treatment.

Full-time foster parents who need extra support or to take a break can utilize respite foster care. Children’s Wisconsin sends in a respite worker to temporarily take over for the foster parent.
