1. ARBOR
GoKart 600

2. TEACHING THE
LANGUAGE OF LOVE
I believe everyone deserves to be loved.
When you are able to show a child what love looks and
feels like, you are enabling them to love and respect
themselves and know their worth.

3. MY NIECE
“The most important thing I would like families to
know when considering adoption, is to look beyond
the paperwork, to not judge a child based on what
you read, actually get to know them and form your
own opinions.”

4. “
Every child deserves to know the love of a
forever family. Every family deserves the
chance to thrive.

5. CHALLENGES OPPORTUNITIES
Current system confuses,
underserves foster parents.
Children's needs/uniqueness
under-communicated.
Not enough quality foster
homes to meet demand.
Deliver "family-first" support
early & make it easy.
Make the children’s needs visible
to parents from the start.
Drive foster parent retention
(+ adoption) via better process.
