My friend, Regina Schwartz is the Foster/Adoptive Home Recruiter for Wayne County Children Services. November is National Adoption Month. I wonder if you'd join her cause by adding her to your facebook causes. Let's see what we can do to get the word out!
The staff of Wayne County Children Services seeks to discover more loving foster families especially those in biracial homes for bi-cultural placements. As one former foster child shared, "When you are placed into a home you have many emotions; torn, broken, confused, rehearsing terrible story outcomes, and feeding negative self-image issues." Yet one family can make a difference!
One former foster parent recalls, "The challenges are real for every child. All children need people with a heart to care, to love to share life with them. Kids are devastated, broken, and need love." She scolds, "Love! It's not for the money! You must show love everyday, everyday, everyday."
One famous former foster child is Steve Jobs. He has a club online for those who are in foster care, FosterClub. He is also featured as a foster child on a list of famous former foster children on Treatment Foster Care website. Thanks to Steve at FC for the link.
If you are interested or know anyone who you think would be a candidate as a foster home caretaker, then please contact Regina.
