Foster Parenting Session Being Held on Cayman Brac
The Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) is holding its first-ever Foster Care Information session in Cayman Brac today (Thursday, 9 February 2017).
The meeting, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the District Administration Building, aims to recruit attendees as Foster Parents and to inform them about what the Foster Care programme involves.
“Foster Parents will forever hold a place in the hearts of the children they care for because they demonstrate love and kindness to children that are at their most vulnerable,” said Adoption and Foster Care Co-ordinator, Nicole Carter.
“They are the unsung heroes of our community,” she added.
For further details about the session or Foster Parenting in general, call the DCFS main reception on 949-0290 or visit the department’s website at www.dcfs@gov.ky
