Foster Care is a system in place to take care of children while their biological parents are unable to care for them. Once a child enters the foster care system, they are placed into custody of licensed foster parents. The ultimate goal of foster care is reunification of the biological family however in some cases that possibility is relinquished. The unfortunate reality for most teenagers in the system is no longer adoption but hopes for extended foster care.
Fostering success is a program designed to help kids who are unlikely to be adopted. They spend one week in the summer and one weekend a month at camp. Each time our campers come we work on a different skill. In one month, we worked on emotional intelligence, another we worked through uplifting others, and in December we take a field trip to an educational center in Cincinnati. Our goal is to empower them to be successful after foster care.
