Lilliput Families

History

Our History Lilliput's story began in 1980 with a vision held by one social worker - Bill Fuser. After working in public child welfare for over a decade, he believed that a higher quality of service could be offered to foster children and families through a combined effort between the public and private sector. Bill's legacy was founded upon the premise that children in out-of-home care deserve to be placed with properly prepared and supported foster families who are interested in caring for neglected and abused children for as long as the children need them. In 1989, Lilliput was one of the state's first foster family agencies to receive an adoption license, thus allowing us to dually certify families for both foster care and adoption. This ensures that children who are placed in our families do not linger in foster care if they are unable to return to their birth families. Since then, the agency has placed more than 6,000 children into ado
