June 18, 2015 - For many children, Father’s Day means giving gifts, enjoying traditions and making memories with their fathers, grandfathers and father figures. But for children in the foster care system, the day can be a painful reminder of their past.
Unfortunately, many children in foster care do not have a reliable father figure in their lives. Removed from their homes due to evidence of abuse or neglect, they are not guaranteed to be placed in state care near their loved ones. It is a constant cycle of uncertainty.
April 29, 2015 - Every May, we honor our mothers for the compassion and love they have unselfishly provided. While we take the time to celebrate and reflect on the support that we sometimes take for granted, there are children struggling in the child welfare system without a caring mother or mother figure in their lives.
