Is long-term foster care an acceptable outcome for Hope?
Absolutely not. Children trapped in foster care often experience multiple placements, fall behind developmentally, sibling groups are separated, and educational, emotional and behavioral problems mount. Within a caring, intergenerational community, families can receive the support they need to adopt successfully many of the waiting children who would, otherwise, have a high probability of aging out of the system. Children at Hope find permanent adoptive families.
