Every day, we are at work strengthening and restoring families so children can grow up safely. We know this gives them their best chance to reach their full potential. This #GivingTuesday, you can gift hope to families and young people, like Stephon, who come to us for help and to find their forever family!
Stephon is a loving 14-year-old boy who desperately wanted a family of his own. He came into care after running away from an abusive and neglectful home. After two attempts at other foster homes, Stephon was placed in our residential program to learn how to better deal with his past traumas.
Ms. Johnnie, after being certified to be a foster and adoptive parent, was very engaged and willing to do whatever was required to adopt Stephon and provide him with a loving home and the structure he needed. In October 2019, Stephon was placed with Ms. Johnnie. “I remember walking into her home.” said Stephon, “It smelled so fresh, like a brand new home.”
In June 2020, he was formally adopted by Ms. Johnnie. The little boy who had waited so long had finally found his forever family! Remember to #gifthope this Giving Tuesday for young people and families like Stephon and Ms. Johnie:

Tristan, 20, entered DCS custody when he was 14 years old. “I got caught up in a lot of stuff I was not supposed to,” Tristan said. “I think that’s common for kids who grew up like I did. You have to do whatever it takes to get by.”Tawanda Johnson-Mcdonald 👏🏽😍
