Foster Parent Information Session

A few days ago, we had a foster parent information session. Even though the weather was bad, we still had a few interested prospective foster parents. We hope that they decide to go on this wonderful journey and are looking forward to providing them with the tools that they need to succeed. 

Interim report cards just came out. We are happy to report that our foster children are doing well in school. This is possible because of our Rockstar foster parents and other professionals in the field who create a dedicated support network for the kids. 

If you would like more information on any of our info. sessions or becoming a foster parent, please contact Karen Guilbault  at 443-412-5425.

Rachel's Story

Being a foster parent is sometimes challenging. However, the relationships that you build can last a lifetime and have a lasting impact on foster children. Check out Rachel’s inspiring story!

A Forever Home

We would like to welcome our newest team member/recruiter Karen Guilbault. We are excited to have her join our team! Our TFC picnic is coming up soon. It looks like we will have a good turnout.

We have lots of fun with our foster families at The Arc. However, we know that often the goal is to find foster children “forever homes”. Whether it is with their biological families or adopted families, children just want to know that they are loved and have a place to call home.

Watch Jimmy’s story (in the video above) about his awesome foster mom and his journey to find a “forever home”. Do you have a heartwarming story? We’d love to hear about it! 

Congrats!

We would like to congratulate our newest high school graduate J.H. We wish her continued success as she embarks on her journey. We would also like to acknowledge our upcoming work program graduates. We are proud of all our TFC children. We would like to thank them for reminding us that anything is possible with perseverance.

Please help us welcome our newest temp. TFC team member DeShanda Johnson. Although her time here will be brief, we are confident that her expertise will have a lasting impact on our department.
