WE ARE SO EXCITED FOR THESE TWO FAMILIES | |
Jeremiah and Jeff were adopted by Ruth and Robert, along with their daughters, Eloise and Rosie. Jacob, the boy's biological brother, also attended. All the kids, including Jacob, received the same cross necklace from their grandma. When the family left the courthouse, they drove to Florida to surprise the boys with a trip to Disney World. | |
NOAS had a Wendy's Wonderful Kid Recruiter success story as one of our recruiters, John, legalized one of their "kiddos" on April 24, 2023. We were not able to be present at the adoption, but NOAS is so happy for this family and the success of our recruiter! Here are to new beginnings with lots of fun-filled memories. | |
MAY IS FOSTER CARE AWARENESS MONTH | Foster care month is a great time to show support for the foster care system and those involved in it. From foster families, youth, teachers, and social workers, it's a time to honor and celebrate everyone who makes it possible. Foster care month also provides us with the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those in the foster care system by supporting and advocating for them. Consider getting involved in the month of May by engaging with NOAS and practicing empathy toward those in need. Together, we can help create a brighter future for our foster youth. You can help us by following us on social media or visiting our website. |

This one-time grant payment is available to foster families who adopt a child from their home after the placement has been legalized.
