Won't You Consider Becoming a Child's Foster Parent?
Providing treatment foster care services to traumatized children with special needs is a commitment that can be extremely challenging... but extremely rewarding. Most of the children in our program have been subjected to physical and/or sexual abuse as well as neglect, domestic violence, drugs, alcohol or other unpleasant life experiences. Many of them have never experienced unconditional love, praise, or nurturing. Many of them have never felt safe. Many of them have never been given a "voice" to express their deep fears and hurt. The time they spend in your home may be their first exposure to a loving, accepting family whose members nurture and care for each other.
The challenges makes the rewards that much more delicious.
