Helping children by just being a parent

Sade was six months old when she and her 11 brothers and sisters came into foster care because of abuse and neglect. Her siblings were all adopted, but Sade grew up in foster care. She was placed with potential adoptive parents twice, and both times it didn't work out.

"After she came back to us, we knew it was critical to find the right foster parent match for Sade," says Mavis Snyder, director of our Treatment Foster Care Program. "We had to find the right parent for this girl who had suffered so many disappointments. The perfect match was Mrs. Barbara Howze."
