Lycoming Foster Care Is Proud To Support Dwell Orphan Care
Lycoming Foster Care is so happy to be able to support Dwell Orphan Care as a new community organization for foster and adoptive parents. Dwell is working to offer services to our foster children and families that are not available through any other local organization.
Dwell is currently offering support groups for foster and adoptive mothers, with plans to expand to fathers. This gives current foster parents who may be struggling with the foster care process or with a child’s behavior the opportunity to see that other families have worked through similar experiences. On a regular basis we receive phone calls for support from families, past and present. Dwell’s support groups will meet a much needed void in our current foster care system. The ability to have a support system of other foster and adoptive parents will provide many benefits to families and children. We are firm believers that people learn best from others who have walked in their shoes. Support from other foster and adoptive parents is the key to successful foster and adoptive placements.
We are impressed with the commitment that Dwell has to the children and families in our community. It is clear the organization has a passion for helping children in the foster care system as well as supporting their families. We are grateful for the opportunity Dwell is presenting to our foster families and past adoptive families as well as to the children in foster care in Lycoming County.
We look forward to partnering with Dwell Orphan Care to develop a strong community support system.
