Forever Family - Finding Homes for Foster Children

On any given day in Florida, nearly 20,000 children are in foster care. Many of them, for various reasons, never return to their families.

New Hope for Foster Youth

Forever Family is a truly unique, non-profit organization that utilizes the power of the media, through television segments and on-air promotions, to create awareness regarding foster children and teens in America --sensitively.  We create public / private partnerships for the important task of finding children in foster care adoptive homes, recruitment of foster parents and volunteers, and help for teens ‘aging out’ of the foster care system.

 

Foster Children Need YOUR Help

Misunderstandings about who foster children are and why they are in care add to the enormous hurdles they face.

MYTH 1 – Nearly half of Americans believe that children are placed into foster care because of juvenile delinquency.

THE TRUTH -Children are removed from their homes due to abuse, neglect, abandonment or the death of their parents.

MYTH 2 –
 Most Americans (68%) think that foster children can not be adopted.

THE TRUTH – There are more than 100,000 children in America’s foster care system waiting and hoping to be adopted.   
 

MYTH 3 –
Of those that are aware of foster care adoption, nearly half (46%) believe that it is expensive. 

THE TRUTH – Foster care adoption is FREE. There may even be a monthly stipend, free college, and free health insurance.

MYTH 4 – Two-thirds of people considering adoption are concerned that the biological parents can take the child back.  

THE TRUTH – Once the adoption is finalized the child(ren) are legally a part of your family - forever.

Forever Family is uniquely positioned to dispel these myths -
But we need your help.
