Helping Children Live Successfully

The Winchester Family have been foster parents with Youth Villages since June 2007. Ricky and Shelia have four children of their own and chose to foster children in states custody too. They have fostered three children and did respite for several during their short time with Youth Villages. Kodie came into their home as a foster child and with alot of love and understanding the Winchester's agreed to be his legal guardian, giving him the stability he needs to succeed. The Winchester's are currently caring for another foster child in their home. We appreciate the dedication the Winchester's have while fostering children with Youth Villages. Thank you Winchester Family!

Paris Team Promotes National Foster Care Awareness

The Paris Foster Care staff and Adoptions staff from Dyersburg and Jackson recently participated in the Worlds Biggest Fish Fry Parade on April 25th in Paris, TN to promote May as National Foster Care Awareness month. "Participating in local events will help us in our efforts to bring attention to the fact that we need foster/adoptive families for our children", stated Lydia Nicks, Sr. Regional Recruiter for rural west. All that participated had a great time handing out candy and representing Youth Villages in this event. Nicks stated, "our goal is to continually promote our programs in the communities we service, so families will consider being foster/adoptive parents to children in need of loving home".
