May is Foster Care Awareness Month
LGBTQ Children are overrepresented in Foster Care
How the world has changed. While we still have a way to go, progress has certainly been made.
No better example than when we were recently contacted by EnCircle, a nonprofit that places kids in foster care. They wanted to ensure that LGBTQ people are aware that there are children who would love to be our foster children. And that EnCircle would also love to connect appropriate parents with those kids.
Formally known as Lutheran Family Services, EnCircle works with children who are in the custody of the Department of Social Services. The article below shares more information about the organization.
Many in our community know full-well the hardships of growing up with unaccepting parents. This is an opportunity for us to change that cycle. Think about it. That’s all we ask.
