It has changed how I view motherhood. I’m so grateful for every minute with every child. We want them to always take with them that they are known and remembered by at least us. Someone knows who they are no matter the road they take. Somebody loves them. – Shana
We all need people to look at us and say, “You are valuable and important.” Being a foster parent does that for a child.
Foster care provides a temporary permanency for a child. It is a safe place for them to land. It meets their needs. It is a place they can be while their family heals and makes good choices so they can be reunited.
Children need to hear they are worth investing in.

When you embark on the foster care journey you are not alone. The MOCKINGBIRD FAMILY™. that Catholic Community Services uses creates an extended family that helps support your foster care journey and the children in your care. It allows them to connect with other youth going through the same thing they are going through. It shows them they are not alone. MOCKINGBIRD FAMILY™ is also about supporting foster parents, too. Foster parents supporting each other means they can better support the youth in their care.
When you become a foster parent you say to a foster child: You are seen. You are known. You are loved.
