Foster Care Month

Dear Editor,

May is National Foster Care Month!

It is a time to share the success stories of foster care and to inform policymakers, business leaders and others in our community and across the country of the need to keep those children who are in foster care in their own communities and schools.

Our priorities must be to recruit and train more foster parents, keep children connected to their extended family and support the foster families we have.

If you know a family providing foster care, take a moment to thank them for making a difference in the life of a child.

If you would like more information about foster care, please call (800) 7-PARENT.

Sincerely,

Rochelle Dotson and Karen Roland
