During November, we celebrate National Adoption Month and on November 29th we gathered with our Adoptions Teams, case management, families and friends to celebrate 9 families' Adoption Day! The Polk County Courthouse turned into a place full of celebration as we celebrated children leaving foster care and joining their forever families. Congratulations everyone!
It’s not just about helping the children, the children impact our lives as well. My family is multi-cultured, it is a learning experience for everyone. Both the children and the foster family learns each other’s cultures- what foods they like, what products they use, etc. We take the children with us on outings to the beach, theme parks, and treat them the same as our own children. The children are a part of our family.
