580 children and youth in foster care and out of home placements,
being provided with a safe, secure and stable home along with the
compassion and nurture of a foster family, and
WHEREAS, foster families, who open their homes and hearts and offer help to
children whose families are in crisis, play a vital
role helping children and families
heal and reconnect and launching children
into successful adulthood, and
WHEREAS, dedicated foster families frequently
adopt foster children, resulting in a
greater need for more foster
families, and

private organizations who work to increase public awareness of
the needs of children in and leaving foster care as well as the
enduring and valuable contribution of foster parents,
