8/19/15 We are working toward a video of 3 families who have fostered. We are gathering a list of materials and resources on Foster Care. Goal is 5 new foster homes in North Brevard County. 7/15 We last met on April 15th and heard a presentation by Devereux, the oversight organization for Foster Care along with a personal account of being a Foster Parent. The team decided it best to develop a video that can be shown in our local churches to help families understand from the experienced parent perspective the joys and realistic challenges of being a Foster Parent before there is any agency education. We want to draw the families to accepting and loving these children. Barry Russell offered to provide a videographer for these efforts. Three families have agreed to participate in the video and Barry drafted an outline of the material we want to capture.
