Adoption month is upon us! It is time to reflect on and recognize the fact that many children are in need of a loving home and family. Whenever I share stories of all of the negative things that are happening to children, the reaction is always the same: deep and sincere sympathy for them. You can make a difference in the lives of those children and make the world a more positive place. Remember that children are our legacy, and through this commitment, you not only help a child but it can enrich your life as well.
Foster and adoptive families come in many forms:
- Married or single
- Live in a large or small home or an apartment
- Have biological children or no children
- Are of various ages
In addition they all possess a desire to make a difference in a child’s life and are committed to providing care and/or permanency for a child
