A Home for Every Child

Foster Care Awareness Month is a reminder that permanency means more than placement. It means lasting connections, consistency, and a future a child can count on. Through case review and oversight, FCRO works to ensure every child’s path toward permanency is actively moving forward. Together, we can work toward creating a sense of belonging for every child.

I was already passionate about child welfare and advocacy. Having the opportunity to serve on the FCRO review board has only fueled my passion even further.

Serving on the board was one of the most rewarding jobs I’ve had. I’m not cut out to be a foster parent, but I could help in this way. I urge you to look into it.
